And Still I Rise

Today was one of those days when I had to listen to a friend complaining about her break up or soon to be break up. I wanted to say am not exactly surprised its over but it was not the friend thing to do. I wanted to say everybody knew it would come to this and somehow I suspect you did too..so why the tears. But rather than rub salt into some very fresh wounds I kept my mouth shut..

Now, I am not going to pretend am this totally wise person regarding relationships because I have made my share of mistakes too. One thing I am growing to learn is that rejection does not mean there is anything wrong with me. Its all too common when the "love of your life" becomes involved with someone else for you to conclude that something must be wrong with you. In some instances even if the other person gives you a reason for moving on somehow you still manage to see it as a failing on your part. Well the truth is that people have a right to change their minds, not that you want them to, or that you are going to like it when it happens. But, the bottom line is there ain't anything you can do about it. So brush yourself off and move on. For all you know you saving yourself from a lot more pain further down the road.
