Pact

On a good night at Chainsaw last term I made a pact with my friends. It was simple.

No Douches.

So what does that mean? No putting time and energy into people or relationships that make you feel like garbage. How and why does it make sense to put effort into people that treat you like crap when we have lives filled with amazing people that love us, have our backs and put that same effort into us?

Here's the thing. We are all douches sometimes. We all goof, we all make mistakes. However, there are patterns of douche-yness and toxic people. Maybe someone just doesn't have time in their life for a relationship of any kind right now (friendship or otherwise). That's fine. Stop putting effort in. Give people room to grow.

So..... for me that's much easier said then done. I care about people that I meet. I put up with more garbage then I probably should. It is hard for me to let people go, even if they don't treat me very well sometimes.

So what does this all mean? I don't really know. I am taking time right now to sort myself out. One day at a time. Breathe in and out.

Well, it's time for class. Then karate. Then class. More class. Sleep. Yoga. Class. Running club. GradComm. Yoga. Karate. Class. Jumble and repeat as necessary. Grow. Learn. Love.
