Sally and Lucy: Darling or Devil?

We have reached the milestone in school, folks! Congrats to all of you who are graduating.

So I was thinking just now about a certain person in my life who is cool, and she is pretty, but she makes me feel unwanted. So I was wondering, should I really hang out with her if all she does is make me feel like less than I should? I am God’s child. That should be enough for me. The thing is, though, that if I am no longer friends with the one, I may lose the friendship of someone whose relationship with me I DO value. So, I am asking, I guess, what should I do? I am going to write down my own thoughts, but today I am really just asking what you think. So, here goes. And for now, I am going to call the girl who should not be my friend Sally and the one who I still want as a friend Lucy. Please do not take offense at the name choice. It has not meaning.

So, Sally is really pretty, and she has a pretty hard background. Her father and mother divorced, and her mother-who supposedly hates her-remarried. This girl is really a great person, but she does things that I would really rather not expose myself to at this time. I know that eventually I will have to face things like that, but right now, it just isn’t the best for me. Sally is...dealing with some things right now, and I want to be there for her, but it seems like she doesn’t want me. I don’t know if I should back up, or confront her. I really hope some of you have ideas because I am really lost on this one…

Lucy is gorgeous-this, by the way, is not the only reason I want to still spend time with her, it is just a fact of life-and she loves to hang out with me. She tells me everything, and her life is just as bad as Sally’s, except that there is no divorce in the picture. Lucy always tells me when something is wrong with her, and she can always tell when there is something wrong with me. Her sister is...not as good to her as she should be. She has a relatively good homelife, but not the best. Her parents love her, but really just don’t know how to raise her. I love her very much, and I know we will always be friends. She is super close with Sally, and I know that defriending Sally would really hurt Lucy.

So, that was me venting. I hope it didn’t bore you too much. :) Thanks for any future comments. They are all greatly appreciated. :)
