Yesterday by chance I had a conversation with an old friend where I realized that despite how things may move in your life, how things may change, get better or worse, there is always a foothold where there are people who see things the way you do.
It is not enough to build relationships and compromise your wants and needs for the sake of a friendship instead of friendship, period.
How many times have you sat somewhere and thought, "What can I do to get out of here?", to only realize that you yourself are to blame. To know that despite things that have happened and things that are going to happen, only you can stop the feeling inside you of not being happy.
There is a lot of pressure on people to be happy, to be sane, to keep it all together. But in all seriousness how many people actually are happy? Or is it just that they compromise their needs to keep the idea alive that they are happy? There is a lot of stress on seeing the glass half full as opposed to half empty but sometimes in life the glass seizes to be seen, and that is when you have to realize that life is not always about the good in people, the compromise of a good night out or even particularly anything sane.
There is a lot to be said if you can call someone and tell them how unhappy you are, how devastated you are and how much you would just like to scream and have that person respond, "Yes, I have felt that way, I do feel that way..." That is a great part of friendship not just having a friend.
Take a cursory glance at your life and make sure that you note the amount of people who are there when there isn't anything worth having, taking, or being...you may be surprised as to how many are holding space rather than heart.
Life is about learning not only about living, although we may pass through many a gathering, event, dinner etc...you only pass through one life, make the people in it memorable. Life is invitation only, some people RSVP others don't...have heart, love wisely, love never fades...

A friend once described me as cosmopolitan, so its stuck with me for awhile.See cosmopolitan describes the ability to be open to many things and I think that although alot of people speak of freedom to do anything in this time and age, they are unable to really do so until they open up their minds to what this world is, it is a myriad of possibilities...Surround yourselves with people who make you see what else is out there...you may find that in the unlikeliest of places.

A little about me...
I am just a girl who gets older by the year but I feel like I'm still trying to find a foothold in this crazy world. There has always been a part of me that loves the realm of words, it is the one thing I can never give up. Words, books, literature, the ability to read and discover is the most important thing to me, because you cannot control someone's imagination. See the ability to read, transforms you, it gives you the power to see, be and feel so much more than your average person. It can make you free...
