Last night I decided to go into hiding.
As Lolia put it, "put my solo cape on and fly far, far away"
I decided this for many reasons. One was this video:

Yes, I thought it'd be 'cool' to see who would seek me out after my fake death
But besides that, I realised that the majority of my closest friends are either in Jand or Canada, not America. And taking into consideration the recession of Twenty-Oh-Nine it means most of my conversations with them are either via skype or facebook or BBM
As a result, any phone vibrations are either from the parents in the motherland or my Yankeegerians. This summer I have been feeling most of my friendships slipping away or getting distant, kind of like a seasonal friend feeling. So instead of fighting for those friendships like the old me would do, I have decided to go into my shell, hurt and heal silently.
--That was Yesterday--
Today during fellowship Nicky Gumbel talked about Adam and Eve after they disobeyed God and ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and how embarrassed they were in the Garden of Eden when they realised they were naked so they decided to hide and cover up their nakedness.
This got me thinking and I realised I am retreating for this reason. I am retreating because I want to preserve the fragile me within. I want a shield from the harsh winds of life.
I am retreating from the broken promises and betrayals of friends
I am retreating from the lies of 21st century guys
I am retreating from the preying eyes of 'figure 8 assessors' --so my waistline has *cough* gone from a 24 to a 26...sue me! :P
But then I watched this yesterday http://www.facebook.com/inbox/?ref=mb#/video/video.php?v=84870139415&ref=share and realised it is okay to have imperfections.
For our imperfections make us unique.
Our imperfections make us individuals
Our imperfections make us perfect.
Hello.

Hello {Imperfect} Princess
Je think you are cooooooo' just the way you are...
That said, where do you know you are retreating to? When I snip your cape with scissors you'll know :P
Lolia snip it away. But I really disagree with the babe for some part. I don't believe good friends need to be in contact all the time. I feel like strong friendships are unconditional and you can be apart for a long time but when you're back together, things feel like none of you ever left. Those are the people I feel are friends ESP when we are all so far apart. Don't have a fake death, detox is for those who are willing to block people out and I know you aren't.
x!
I agree with bob-ij but then again sometimes retreat all the time and i tell u the me time is very effective.
For me anyways...
First time in and luvn it dear..
Nice blog
xoxo
@Lolia: LOL @ snip my cape. Je will stay then...I guess :$
@bob-Ij: I'm w you on that. The sane part of me definitely isn't. I think that was one of those days where I felt it'd probably be easier to retreat as opposed to risking everything and STILL getting hurt. But thanks b! Now that we're all in different places, those really are the true friends!
@Fabulo-la: I definitely do that sometimes and then I run back out cuz I can never do it for too long! LOL
@Sassy Trends: Thanks dear! Hope you'll be back? :D
