it's funny how no matter how much time and effort you put into someone or spend with them, they will not change on your doing. people only change on their own terms. fact of life. you will never be able to change people out of their old ways. they seek comfort in the familiar and the safe...you have to expect that otherwise you're filled with a blinding sense of false hope. the only person you can change without fail is yourself. you choose the bounds with which to push yourself and assemble the finish line ahead...and once you cross that line, you make another one even further down the road. you're the only person that can see it and achieve it. the line you set for other people leaves them wandering aimlessly. not really sure where i'm going with this. mindless mind dumping is all i suppose.
happy friday and warm wishes...two days til christmas!
You are very wise for your years...
ReplyDelete"it's funny how our lives have changed since high school and how things have come together really nicely for once. it seems as though all those awkward years of growing up were worth it because now all the things that we found important then, that were once make shift senses of self, are fully pieced together."
All of those trials and awkward moments were preparing us for our future. AGH!! If only we'd know that then....
