Revelations, part deux
Part of me things I should free write every morning cause i get the raw emotion out and can function. For any who thought i was depressed, i wasn't. just typing random things helped me clear my head.
I learned a very valuable lesson last night that was reaffirmed this morning. All my life i have tried to help everyone else with their problems, make everyone elses life better, help all but myself and in doing so, i have alienated people, offended people, and downright hurt people. My intentions have 99% of the time been good, but in getting involved, i have made the mistake of becoming that person that has their nose in everyone elses business. Last night i hurt probably the most important person in my life, and for that i can only apologize. But today, it was interesting. At work, a girl took a couple to a small booth, they asked for a large one, and she said we needed them for larger parties. The guests were frustrated, but they stayed. She was kind and everything, but, being new, she was unaware that we always say yes. She came back up, and another new girl who has maybe a week on her jumped down her throat. "That ws really rude, they are obviously not happy, you should fix it." The newer girl was hurt, and the other went and resat the table. When she came back, i pulled her aside, told her good job on catching the guests discomfort, but that the newer girl was really hurt by the way she handled it, and that employee relations are as important as guest relations. She said that the guests is more important. And i dropped it. I Dropped It. I didn't continue trying to get her to apologize. Because its not my issue. I was very proud of myself for that.
I guess it just occured to me through my issue last night that not everyone can be saved, and even if they can, its not my job. I can be a friend and not try to solve all of someone's problems. I hate what i had to lose to figure this out, but i think in the end, it has helped me become a better person.
