Perspective
Sometimes all you need is a different perspective.
Seriously.
Last night I had a good chat with a friend, an old school friend who I always enjoy myself and feel at ease with but who I don't often have long in-depth chats with.
I think I should more often. It was nice to get just a completley different opinion and thoughts on ideas and it was especially nice not to feel like I was being judged on all the actions I'd done before. Not that this person didn't know about the actions, but that they weren't thinking of me along those lines. Perhaps it's because our adolescence has followed similar paths or maybe its just because this particular person just doesn't place everything into a context.
In short, the last two days I have been much, much happier than I have been for awhile.
Don't get me wrong, the people I often talk to aren't bad friends and they DO often help me. Just sometimes it seems like everybodies opinion meshes into one, so it's nice to have a second voice, giving me more options. A voice that gets the anxiety but at the same time says what they think. It's not surprising that sometimes peoples opinion mesh into one, friends usually share to some extent the same ideas about life and they influence each others ideas.
Basically, thank you Miss Lady Lemon for answering all my crazy questions and telling me what you think. It really helped.
