I just recently decided to eliminate the bad from my life. It sounds so simple, yet it took being in a good place to discover it. I am so bad at saying "no." I hate disappointing people. I avoid confrontation at all costs. (Unless I've been drinking, but that's another story.) Why?
"Why do we stay with lovers who we know down deep just aren't right?
Why would we rather put ourselves through hell than sleep alone at night?"
-Jonathan Larson
This isn't just about being in relationships, this is about my life in general. If I'm not making someone better or they're not making me better, why are they in my life? Why keep the negative around? If my dirty room is driving me crazy, why don't I just clean it? Again, I know this has probably been apparent to so many for so long, but not to me. I've put up with it all. Why? This may be one of the only times in my life when I get to make selfish decisions- when I get to experience what I want to, get out of these year what I want to, become the person that I want to....why would I not take advantage of it?
I'm excited! Bring on the good!
