Tonight, a friend told me about his latest round of "off" in his on-again, off-again relationship. Sigh. I teased him that his life is "drama, drama, drama," and he replied that he doesn't need any more drama.
Can't he see that after 2 years, the relationship isn't going to work. They aren't even engaged, and there are so many issues.
The bell-shaped theory of love! Realize that no matter how good the good is, if there is repeated negativity, move on.
Ironically, the friend wanted to go for a drive later today, and although I agreed, I am going to pass. I don't need to be the escape. To be a better friend, I am going to let him figure this one on his own.
Slowly, I see that I have been more positive this year b/c I have been able to capture all the goodness in others and let them get through the downs with distanced support. It's what I do for myself, get through tough patches on my own, with friends near by when I need it.
Oh yeah, Happy New Year!
