Happy Belated Anniversary

44 days makes it clear, I can breathe with clarity.

Maybe I ask too much from people.
Maybe my expectations are too high for anyone to reach.
Maybe I am destined to be content with few strong relationships.

If these three points are true - I am alright. I do have influence on who I am and how I treat other people. My expectations for them should not seem out of the ordinary if they are actually in tune with who I am. I don't believe that I need to be explaining myself or how I feel to anyone unless I feel motivated to do so. If I do only have a small pea sized amount of people who are here for me I feel completely content with that. For I know the individuals that help to make up this tiny group need no explanations of me. They already know who I am and where I am coming from, they are smart enough to know that those two things do not change.

I believe that in a perfect world we would still have confrontation, the breaking down of existing supports and heart break. These things make you stronger, they remind you that you are living in a real world, with real emotions. That some things don't last forever. And that sometimes you are taken advantage of. And being an emotional person I tend to strive on these realizations/beliefs. These situations constantly make me think about and evaluate my life. The give me material to write from.

Know yourself emotionally. Like who you are. Remember that what you project out to the world is what you get back, you will only be valued as much as you value yourself.
