A friend?

It has come to my attention through the grapevine that the person I ceased outside communications with is probably upset with me for doing so. I had hoped that being my friend, she would understand my need in this matter. This is something I haven't addressed here yet. She needs to understand that I wanted to do this. That when it came down to it, there really wasn't a question of what was more important. I thought being the true friend she professed to be, she would understand. Maybe I was wrong. Feel free to comment.
