Rebuttal a.k.a. the 3 cup run-back.

"Maybe it's all a problem with perspective."

You know, it almost always is. I don't know why it takes so long for me to take a step back even though I've proved to myself time after time that's the best way to solve problems.

I was wrong. Again. But if you don't take the risk of being wrong then your learning experiences become very limited, but that's not what this post is about.

For the longest time now Stacy and I have been trying to force something that needed no forcing, and in doing so caused a rift through a friendship that tore pretty deep.

We were trying to move "us" somewhere.

We were trying to keep a friendship with Brittany.

We were trying to justify to ourselves why we were trying so hard.



Trying is for people who are in situations that aren't working for them. Stacy and I had a pretty damn good set up. We were friends that were only getting closer and were surrounded by some of the best family anyone could ask for. And the whole time I was stuck in such a subjective view. Influenced by the pressure from around me to move forward in life, to go somewhere, to be something more than what I am now had me putting other peoples ideals into play in my life.

it wasn't until about a half hour ago that I was able to take a step back and look at myself, the situation I'm in and the connections amongst those around me and realize that I'm actually happy with where I am. With who I am. With everyone around me as well.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that things are looking up, change is constant so it's pointless to try and make more than that which naturally occurs. With 2.4 weeks of summer done I think I can finally start to fall into the flow of this summer.
