qtip at 10:20am on 12/04/2001I guess I'm kind of getting settled in now. I'm not as angry about not having the rest of my things here w/ me. I have the basics and in reality my basics are lot more than many people will ever own in the world. I lament the loss of my things but hey I can acquire more stuff.
I hate to think that my relationship had to end the way it did, but it had to end either way. Any time a person changes who they are for the sake of another it is not a good thing. Don't get me wrong, compromise is a wonderful and normal thing in a relationship. Changing for someone else's happiness is poisonous to the relationship and the person changing. If there is abuse be it a singular act or continuous someone has to let go or someone is going to be irreparably damaged.
For those of you that think you aren't being abusive because you are only yelling at your partner or you've never hit them with a closed hand then you're sadly mistaken. Abuse is abuse there is no gray area when it comes to that. If you think there is then that's a definite sign that you need to seek counseling.
I am not looking forward to the moving I' m going to have to do around campus this summer, but I have a completely different outlook on my future now. It's making me feel a lot better about what's going on in my life now and what my future could be like.
I've always had friends, but I don't think I've ever realized what good friends they really are. Thanks guys you make my days easy and my nights fun instead of tearful and sad.
Peace
