Dicks Aren't Called Dicks For Nothin'

This week has not been very friendly to two of my close female friends.

Boy drama, son.  Boy drama.

It's always hard consoling someone going through such hard times because you know that no matter what you say, the next few days, weeks, and months are going to suck for this person.  They are going to seriously, seriously suck.

The process of getting over someone, figuring out whether you can reform the relationship into a friendship, and actually getting to a point where you see the other as a friend or just as a memory from yesteryear is a process that takes time.  It's a process that drags us across the floor, arms flailing, nails digging into the cement.  It's a process that can make us better people or create walls to keep the love out.

Having gone through this process twice now, I've learned that you can either come out of it harder or you can come out of it with a fuller appreciation of life and the people around you.  My goal whenever I lose someone is to get to a point where I can look back not in sadness, but with a warmth and appreciation that I had that person in my life for that period of my life.  And life was pretty awesome when they were there.

And life is still pretty awesome today.

Below is a song I wrote about getting over a loved one around the time I was blossoming out of the end of my last relationship.   I hope it helps.

And the live version!
