" the greatest healing therapy is friendship and love. "
-- hubert humphrey
sometimes I think about the wise words that have been spoken throughout the years by people I know..or don't know. it makes me wonder why they had those thoughts in the first place, or who could have inspired them to think that way. I guess every thought we have came from some sort of inspiration, whether we realize it or not.
anyways, a lot of the time friendship and love fix our problems. although I will argue that it only fixes things on a long-term scale. sometimes love, which goes hand in hand for friendship to me, can be the one thing that almost makes us need therapy. sometimes love complicates what could otherwise be so simple, because for once decisions affect more than one person. love makes us question ourselves, wonder if we are really being our best (not only for ourselves) but for our other, better half. maybe temporarily love or friendship is really the problem. I mean, if I wasn't friends with her, maybe I wouldn't care that she screwed me over. if I didn't love him, I wouldn't have to worry about anybody else's sentiments. but you see..I think this is the real challenge. it's so easy not to care about another person and live life without any boundaries. it's easy to just run free and lose control.
but life isn't supposed to be easy. it's supposed to be worth living, and what makes that happen? sometimes somebody needs to give you a reason to make life worth living for. challenges make life worth living. we're living to grow; challenges make us learn, learning makes us grow. never let go of the challenge.
it's okay to feel crazy after being crazy about someone. let's be real here, who isn't crazy? and let's be real here, would you be any more satisfied if you did not have somebody to justify your crazy side? didn't think so.
