Sometimes we become so wound up in what we think is right and what we think feels good and trying to make others happy that we care about... that sometimes we lose ourselves a little. I feel like we don't even realize it until after.
I have had the privilege of having amazing people in my life. I have lost some along the way, especially this year, but I have also gained some fantastic people. Even the newest of relationships need work and constant molding to find what works the best, for both of you. Because I have realized, that no matter what kind of person you are, giving your best is some times not enough. But maybe with communication and understanding, you can find the balance that works for both of you, you can get the best out of your relationships. Honesty really is the best policy when peoples emotions are on the line. Assumptions of what another feels can only end in disaster, especially if you assume wrong.
I can truly say, for myself that is, that if I care for you, and I mean truly care for you... tough moments will not drive me away. I can get stomped on for awhile before I decide to let someone go. Because no one is perfect, including myself. Everyone needs chances and forgiveness. On the other hand, don't forget to show your friends how much you mean to them. The smallest gesture goes a long way.
But the biggest thing that I have learned since the beginning of the year is...
Do not lose yourself in others, be yourself with others.
