The Golden Rule

[bluebeegirl]

 This is a repost from another blog of mine. It is regarding someone not of this circle of friends. It has nothing to do with recent developments, coffee, weddings or anything else you may think it does. However, it's always good to throw food for thought at those who may be hungry. Someone can find something applicable, I'm sure. If you do, good.

I agree that not all relationships deserve the same treatment.

ohana is a choice. yes, we can't choose the ones we're born with but family and love is a choice. yeah, it's worth the effort.
i've had the same mind set about relationships in my life. those i completely broke off were of the toxic variety. some of those people are still not a part of my life and i'm ambivilent about their return.
there is someone in my life right now for whom the emotions of affection and compassion have burned out. if i choose to follow my pattern til now, i'd tell her get out and write her out of my life... for the first time, i'm choosing not to do that. it's proving to be a tough fight and one hel of a draining journey but i know beyond my current emptiness of feeling that this person is worth the fight and so is the relationship.
i could ramble on about this for awhile... i'll spare you. ;-) thank you for posting this. i needed to read it and to know someone else can relate to where i am at, even if i have not talked about it.
