8.28.08 Yes, No, Maybe So
|
I have a serious problem with the word "no." I don't like to hear it and I have trouble saying it. Every weekday morning I wake up with all intention of going to work, going to the gym, and then staying in for the night. Has that happened EVER? Yes, but not often enough at all! It seems like every night SOMEONE wants or NEEDS to go out ... and that's where my problem saying no comes in. I feel like it's my duty as a friend to go out and be with a friend who was just dumped, screwed over, depressed, or celebrating something ... but for the love of god ... can't we save it for the weekend? Apparently not.
... so even though last night I had all intentions of going to the gym and hanging out at home CLEANING (something I need to do terribly bad) I ended up watching the Red Sox game at Arena with a friend in crisis. Guy crisis. We let them get to us too bad, it's sad really. The female gender is so ... different ... not only are we so different than men, but we are ALL so different from eachother. Some of us put up walls and never let them down, and others are so quick to let people tear them down and let them right into their life ... to possibly be walked all over. I like to think i'm somewhere as a happy medium between those. I trust people until they give me a reason not to... most of the time. But, even just taking a step back and looking at all of the great women in my life, we are just all so freakin different. From how we deal with break ups, to how we cope with stress, to even the way we talk things out and the amount of detail we go into when we are divulging the drama. It's crazy how you pick your friends. You can't be GOOD FRIENDS with everyone, it's just not how things work... so i'm just thinking about truly amazing it is that we live this awesome thing called life and we are so often drawn to people enough to welcome them into our life and call them a friend.
... I guess friends and drama are a precious thing and they come before the gym and relaxing at home ... yeah ... they do. |
