Tonight I saw And Then She Found Me which was directed and stars Helen Hunt. It was a fantastic movie. The one problem is it got me thinking that I really don't want to be like her character April. It just made me sad to watch that part. It's a movie so of course the ending is happy but I don't ever want to end up in her position to begin with.
Right now I'm really disappointed in someone. I thought they were smarter and stronger than they are. I'm starting to think that life is about learning to live with the fact that everyone is flawed. The older you get the more flaws you begin to see. Some you can learn to live with. Some are harder to take from certain people while others make it easy to write someone off.
You start to realize that you don't have to make room in your life for people that suck the life out of you. You don't have to take it and you don't have to put up with it. Life is too short to waste time working to keep relationships or friendships that bring nothing but grief, worry or pain into your life. My new attitude is to surround myself with only the people that value and respect me and people I value and respect. No more emotional vampires. No more selfish and vain people.
I'm living for me and I'm going to stop compromising everything I want just to keep people from fighting and arguing. I'm not above compromising but I'm done with people who won't give up till they get their way every time. Anyone who values being right more than they do my friendship can find other people to be friends with. I don't need that negativity in my life. Relationships of all descriptions are a give and take. I'm more than willing to give but I will not accept people taking and never reciprocating. If that means a few people are removed from my life then so be it. At least those that are left will be positive people.
