Amazing still
It used to be well believed that the older you are the more wisdom and life experience a person would have and therefore making them the logical choice to turn to in need of advice. I never did hold this ideal to any truth and I wish others would stop attemting to hold the image of youth as one of immaturity and dilluded. Age has nothing to do with a damn thing *except in the obvious cases* and I find myself watching people prove just that. I have been a recluse lately (sorry kids school owns me =P) and when I do get out and about I just people watch. I find myself learning a lot more about the people I choose to surround myself with and the people with whom my close counterparts also choose to be with. Watching someone gives you such an honest perspective, moreso then what a person could ever tell you about yourself. It's quite refreshing with some, quite alarming with others.
Also on the subject of interpersonal relationships (mostly of the intimate variety) I have realized a few things I think most people need to take note of. One, that sometimes in relationships *of any sory* it is indeed better to throw in the towel than stick it out. Sometimes it takes more courage to know when done is done and admit that, rather then stay in something that causes a negative affect of both parties. I am having some of my own personal problems in this area and being alone doesn't seem to scare me like it once did. I have been part of this couple for so long and it's almost as if that's my definition now whenever I am out with my friends or his or ours..I feel as if my life isn't defined within my own parameters anymore and the terms of it are his and not my own. It may be the age difference *10 years* or it may just be it's not working anymore and may never again. I think I am OK with that, because today is the first day in a long time that I feel like myself.
