well, maybe not always. but recent events in and directly related to my personal life and relationships have emotionally slapped me in the face. people i consider closest to me are doing and saying things i strongly disagree with. does this mean we shouldn't be friends? not at all. it just means i need to remember that my mental and emotional health and stability are most important, and that i am no one's keeper. i can choose to be friends with whomever i please, but that is not a guarantee that they will think, act, speak, or live as i choose to. we may have common interests, even common goals, but our paths are our own, and i need to stay strong and maintain my own life's momentum. i am a carer by nature, and that quality has needed harnessing. i have been forcing myself to allow others to make their own mistakes, even if the potential consequences could be severely detrimental. life is a continuous journey of learning and understanding. these obstacles make me who i am and add truth and substance to my life.
