#41 WLFC Friend Breakups Suck

A friend broke up with me. Has that ever happened to you?

I’m sitting here on my porch in the rain. A morning thunderstorm waking me up after a night of staying up once again too late while blue light shines in my face. Except I usually can still fall asleep. But on this night I tossed and turned. Something was keeping me awake.

I woke up and knew that meant I needed to write. Something was tugging at me from my insides. Begging to be strung together into words that make sense. At least on paper.

So, in case you haven’t seen it blasted all over the internet, Venus is Retrograding through Leo until September 3rd. And for me, it’s moving through my 11th house of friendships as a Libra Rising. And wow is that already revealing itself! But even as a collective, this retrograde season is allowing MAJOR review for us in our relationships. Most recently, with the Aquarius full moon.

Well, this week a friend basically broke up with me.

In the midst of my heartache of breaking up with N due to circumstances that I’m not inclined to discuss because it’s his trauma to a large degree, a friend I’ve known for a long time broke up with me. Has that ever happened to you?

It seems we are not compatible as friends at this point in our lives.

This got me thinking about the times in your life when it’s not easy to be your friend.
