"being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. it means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections."

why would people post quotes anonymously? that's kind of annoying. I guess it's some type of modesty, by not claiming to be wise. whatever.
I guess it's more annoying that we need to find something to hinder ourselves from being too happy.
I was told recently that I am too soft on people, and that I don't confront situations when they bother me, so I should "quit life" because I won't change the world in any way. hmm. well recently, I felt a change among pretty much all of my friends, and chose to allow it to happen..rather than be the one to bitch about it and end up with the title along the lines of "stick up her ass". you see, I allow things to unfold, because that's the natural way of things happening. I make peace with it, and I'm fine. to be honest, by being this way, my friends can be themselves no matter what. I would rather have that than be the one who they hide from.
when do you confront? when something bothers you? even though you know it'll make you look bad or cause tension? when do you cross the line from being soft to a hardcore bitch? when is this all okay? why can't you just let things simmer down, and address it calmly? I mean if it personally affects somebody, and you witness problems..then yeah, definitely. otherwise, I think it's best to allow people to do what they want. you can't hold their hand forever, and at this point, people are getting old enough to make their own decisions. let people be happy. if their decisions get in the way of happiness or simple life, then I say forget all rules, intervene.
