Not an Apology - Me

Do you ever feel like you are misunderstood?  Oh, I do.  This saddens me.  So none of you, my dear friends, misunderstand me, let me clarify a few things for you.
Here's the thing.  When I make friends, I really make friends.  I think it overwhelms some, but I treat all of my friends like...friends.  Even the new ones.  No, I won't go and share all of the inner secrets of my heart right away, and I don't expect others to do that either.  I do believe in being up front right from the get go, though.  I do my best to let people know my story.  I want to know yours too.  You have so much to teach me!  If I show interest in your life, it's because I am sincerely interested.  Makes sense, right?
I am a passionate and extremely sensitive person.  I used to think my sensitivity was a downfall, then I learned differently one special day when Heavenly Father let me know that He has given all of characteristics that are like Him.  Naturally - we are His children.  Sensitivity is one that He passed on to me.  This sensitivity is reflected in the way I handle my friendships and relationships.  I feel that, "if you are my friend, please allow me to be yours!"
  As random of a post this may be, it's how I feel!  Obviously (last post and this one) friendship has been on my mind a lot lately.  Friendship means a lot of different things for different people, and I more than respect that.  Hopefully, though, you understand a bit more about me, and some of my ideals of friendship.
  The Lord give us friends to teach us, and be our angels!  Who doesn't want more angels?!  Who doesn't want more friends...let's be friends!
