In this life, there will be a lot of opportunities that come up. And they're going to seem great and wonderful and seem like they will make your life a hell of a lot easier. But, sometimes you have to walk away , and at times it is going to be really difficult to do that. But you have to, because you deserve better.
Same goes for people. Any relationship. At first it's like WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?? Then, its like-- why? It is hard to distance yourself from someone you love dearly. But, if they make you feel inadequate.. it is time to walk away. If they need you, be there. But don't put yourself in the line of fire just because you feel obligated. Unfortunately, misery LOVES company. Surely. It is your choice to be happy. It is your choice to allow someone to make you feel inferior. YOU CAN CHANGE THAT. I put a lot of effort into being a nice human. In the end, that is all that truly matters. People will remember how kind you treated them, I know I do. I was on the phone with a friend from South Florida..we were reminiscing on a trip out to dinner in Detroit a few years ago. We were talking about a girl that was there with us by chance, not one of our usual crew. I got sick at dinner and I don't remember her name, but I remembered how remarkably kind she was caring for me while I was sick.
Sometimes we love people so much that we have to be numb to it. Because if we actually felt how much we love them, it would kill us. That doesn't make you a bad person. It just means your heart's too big. That is both a blessing and a curse. Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless...
Keep your heart humble, and your words. Remember--olive branches do more good than battle axes ever did.
