(no subject)
I am back to avoiding contractions or just not giving a damn about apostrophes.
Seems like life i's on a roll. We are growing up and it has made me think a lot lately about what it means to be a good adult, friend, girlfriend, and everything else.
I think so far I have learned that it just means being there.
To be there as your friends enter their 30s. To be there when another friend's mother passes away. To be there every day at a job you dislike. To be present in the moment and take your future in your hands. To be there to celebrate as everyone pairs off and gets married. To make the load a little lighter when people struggle. To face your fears, your regrets. To keep your promises. To surprise people. To love people.
To do those things, you have to be there.
I have been pretty lethargic as of late. It is pretty easy to blame it on the season or my dissatisfaction with work. But blame is never a resolution. Maybe it takes the guilt off of your shoulders, but blame never causes change.
So maybe I need to quit wondering why and just choose to be there.
