Somebody once said "making different choices gives you the opportunity to live a different life". And maybe if I didn't choose to be friendly, she would have been more selfish.
And maybe if I wasn't so needy we would still have each other.
And maybe if I gave more, instead of receiving, or loved more instead of hating, or being that, instead of being this, things would have worked out they way I wanted them too. And then I remember that it's not about me, but it's about you. I keep forgetting that.

So, I'm recognizing the choice I'm given and I'm going to take it.

It’s not about what you were, its about who you will become. It isn’t about what you want to be, but more so about what you’ll do when you get there. But you just have to keep pushing until you get there. And you will get there. You will.
