We've all heard it, in movies, in stories, and some of us even in person (never mind it could be sound like a good OR a bad thing depending on the person...). So I came across it again on paper today. It hit me hard. And made me laugh a bit too.
I don't just say things for the sake of saying them. I barely even like talking. So I wonder why basically no one is taking to heart anything I say. I mean, really putting myself out there with certain statements.
I'm deciding that I'm going to do what I did last year again. If you can't reciprocate or respond when I say something meaningful... that just might be it. I don't mean to be dramatic.. because in reality its all part of my steps to living a drama free life.
It's been basically just me, my family, and my best friend for the past few weeks. And once again I'm beginning to feel more complete, because I like to focus my attention on the few things that matter.
Me and my mom keep getting in fights since I was a teen over the idea that she thinks I expect to much out of friends. I recently talked to my aunt and it was refreshing to hear someone else in my family who thinks the same as me. Why shouldn't we expect a lot out of the people in our lives?? There's not enough time to be wasted.
We may have had a HUGE following out, but now that I have my bestest back in my life again I know that that whole concept I have on expecting so much out of people was worth believing in. She has proven to be there, and will continue to be. I have some work to do on myself proving that I can do the same that I expect, but I "get it".
What I would love is that all short lived things didn't do such a number on me... but the passionate person in me doesn't allow that. So I guess that's ok.
On a sidenote, the weather here has been perfect.
