My loyalty is still strong
 

I recently had an experience where my friend was in pain and had to call for help. In going through that experience I learned something about myself. I do not leave people alone, especially when they are in pain. I’m not the best person when it comes to reactions but I can tell you that I am pretty loyal when it comes to the people I love. It was all last second when the pain came to her and I really wasn’t expecting our breakfast date to take that turn but sometimes you get a wild card in life and you can either roll with it or get sucked into it and try to fight it while its happening. In this situation I rolled with it. 

We had run to this new coffee shop in town and we were both really excited. It was a little over two miles and the weather in Florida had FINALLY turned to fall type weather. We had planned in advance since it had been a while since we chatted and this was a nice little chance to get things back on track. We both have a lot to do on a daily basis so it seemed like a nice start to the day. Of course we both were not expecting what happened, to actually happen. 

I tried my best to stick with it flow with the situation. Someone I see as family is in pain and I wasn’t going to just go home and leave her. The moral of this little rant here is that I learned that even in a situation where it may seem random, awkward, or strange, I can still throw out a joke or two. They weren’t that funny but it was a nice way to try and make things seem better than they were. I know that I become very vulnerable when I get migraines and the pain drives me crazy. It makes me upset, angry, and in the fetal position wanting it to stop. No position helps, nothing I take dulls the pain, and I always feel like my mind is splitting open. So for me I can relate pretty well to pain and how bad pain can be. 

I know I wasn’t expecting something like that to happen and I hope she is ok and recovers. She's family and really I do love her and I am very glad I met her but of course this isn’t about her, this about what I learned. 

Sometimes the unexpected happens and I do believe everything happens for a reason. In this experience I think it taught me that my loyalty to others hasn’t died after all this time of being betrayed and left behind. Even though I have been hurt in more ways than one I now know that my loyalty is still fierce and is going strong. It’s always nice to know that some things about you never disappear, even when you thought it had.
