So, sometimes we meet someone and it seems so nice at first glance. You share the same friends and that is how you came to meet. If your friends are true, their friends should be as well, right? Maybe. You spend time together and a few things come out about each of you. You really like him. You think he's a nice guy who enjoys a few of the same things you do. But...In the pit of your stomach something just doesn't sit right. It's a feeling so small that you can ignore it if you really try. Fooling ourselves has become too easy these days. How do you know when your true self is talking and when it's really the counterfeit self you have become over the years? When should you listen? Everytime, blanket policy? Wouldn't your "friends" warn you? "Hey, take our word, he's better as just a friend" One can only hope she has friends like that.
He's tall dark and handsome, has a good job and a car that runs. He seems kind and caring, but is that just the Alcohol talking? You think not, but you've been wrong before. Always see the good, ignore the potential bad. He'll slow it down, or he'll do this or that. Blah Blah Blah. Are You fooling yourself because it seems rare to meet such a nice guy? He's already lost some points by simply not opening the car door! Let's face it folks, it's the small simple things that count. If you let those go what is left that is important? It's not crucial to our well being that a man open our car door but to some of us it shows old school respect and values. Values that are yours. Should you change or change who you hang with?
It will always be harder to stay true to yourself than to adapt to your surroundings by sacrificing values and beliefs. It would be the beaten path instead of the road less traveled. It's time to take that new road.
Love, Sugar
