torn.

Feeling torn having to choose the "correct" route to friendship.
The rightful answer is not supposed to be the hardest and yet it is.
It's for the better, giving up this friendship, though it means so much to me and will be good for career development etc.
Sometimes the younger of us can be the more certain of the right way to go.
Feelings, they can just serve to fool you sometimes.

Naive?
Simple?
Thinking too much?
Unfocused?
Not single-minded about a goal?
Bah-humbug!
I say.

Move on.
Be Professional.
Be Happy, think simple.
Live well.
And let's pamper ourselves and bask in the wonders of friendship for those we care about!
