I Once was Where You Are

 Yes, I once was where you are.  I felt like you, thought like you.  It's almost unsettling. So many thoughts. Thoughts about family, about the guy on the receiving end of my love and affection, about spending nights together, cuddling, about careers and setting the world on fire.

  Then life happened. We got caught up in life. Babies, jobs, attention from the wrong places, stress, overwhelmed, non-communication, rejection, lies. The best of times, the worst of times.  Very cliche but very true.

   No one starts out in the prime of their life and hopes to not only do stupid things, but hurtful things.  Don't be judgmental. You simply never know what bridge you will have to cross, even when it seems like the most FAR-FETCHED  idea ever.  It can happen to you.

  Be careful on those judgements. I don't promise many things but I do promise they will come back to you. It's the reap what you sow logistics of life.

   Pick your arguments. Being "right" isn't all it's cracked up to be.  My right may not be your right at this moment, and it may never be. But there may come a day, when you not only understand but actually change your view of this "right".  I have done it more than once. Ironically, it seems the older I get, the more it happens.  It's all about perception, experience, and current spot in life.
