How do you know WHO to invest time into? Whether it be a relationship, or just a friendship. Some how i always end up picking people to invest a lot of time and effort into getting to know them, getting close to them, caring a lot about them; Only to end up hurt in the end. I think part of the problem is I care too much in the first place. I guess i just figure if i am really going to be friends with someone and let them into my life, they would probably do the same and care too right? Well not always. The thing that gets me is when they SAY they care but their actions don't really say the same thing. Ya know? I am not asking for mountains of effort and show, just little things to say, "Ya know what, your not wasting your time, because i care about you too!!"
Also How do you know when enough is enough? How do you know when to keep trying, and when it is time to let go and move on?
How do you know when the choice you are making is the right one?
How do you know that everything is going to be ok?
How do you know When to stand up for something, or when to respect other people's differences, rights and freedoms?
How do you know when you have given your best?
How do you know that you are not alone?
How do you know that even though you are in a room FULL of people, or surround by others and still feel out of place, that it's ok and that's how it should be?
How do you know that being happy when someone else is sad, is ok?
Or being sad when someone else is happy?
How do you know what to wear to work when when you leave its sunny and nice and when you go home it is snowing?
How do you know what to buy someone for a gift?
How do you know when to tell things lightly and when to just say it like it is?
How do you know when your blog post is TOO long?... When you start talking about something that isn't what you started talking about!!!
How do YOU know?

I've wondered those questions SO many times!! It changes on a case by case basis I think and let me just say that "Ya know what, your not wasting your time, because i care about you too."
Love you Alisha!
What a great thought: I have learned the hard way ALL TOO well and too many times. It's happened to someone I shared my entire life with It sucks but it comes a time in your life when you really do know who your friends are. I think in some ways face book has caused issues- for certain reasons, I will one day open up about- but sometimes I think you just know when someone is just a convenience of a friend rather then a friend. We need to go out sometime and we can talk about it, your a great person and I love ya.
I love you and care about you!
