I know how it goes. I know how it works. That's why I can't be too judgmental toward others who felt the same about me after I "changed".
There are reasons why people do the things they do and act the way they act.
I'm just thankful to know that many of the people I fellowshipped with when we were UPC still think about me and ask about me and love me.

Felicity,
I've hurt those that I was once close to that let down the standard as well. I feel badly about it and have apologised for my wrong doings. Now, when I see ex UPC'ers I really try hard to not treat them any differently. In fact, I ran into some just recently and we had a really nice visit. It's hard on both sides, don't you think?
