Thicken Up

What a week! More and more I'm so happy to have gone on my retreat! It's already Thursday, and I am still feeling Faithful, Fearless, and Free, Blessed and Beautiful, and it doesn't hurt that I feel like the week is breezing by.

I'm coming to some real conclusions about life though, and as hard as they are to accept - it is what it is (in the words of Ms. Wendy)!

I'm not even going to get into the depth of my so called life, but I will touch upon my most recent experience. Here's my tip: although you're never too old to meet new people, you can't call everyone you get along with "friend". Why do I say this, simple. The older we get, the more set in our ways we become, the less likely we are to change our thoughts and views to accommodate the personalities of others.

Example: I'm very forward and direct. I don't hold my tongue often, but I think I'm pretty sensitive towards others feelings, however I was told recently that I'm hard to talk to. The person sited an example, told me she wasn't the only one to feel that way, and said that's why all of us can't get along any longer. I'm not even going to get into the detail of what transpired after that (let's just say, her opinions were just that HER opinions), but I did realize that she and I have two completely different personalities....and two personalities on the opposite end of the spectrum can work well together, but can't always be friends. So I've decided to accept that about her, continue to work with her, but cut her off socially moving forward.

I just look forward to the summer. I will say this, I might be a typical Cancer (tough on the outside, mush on the inside), but I've got a thick skin. You tell me what bothers you about me, yes the blow will hurt, but I feel like I'll only grow from it. Others however, need to watch out - the cuddling they once got will soon come to an end! OH WELL!
