Don’t Erase Me

I’ve definately not had the best of weeks… I won’t really go into it, but it was not pleasant at all. (in some aspects)

But in someways I guess I’m thankful for weeks like last week. Which is the reason for my post.

Despite all of the negative feelings I had, I learned some things too.

• I learned that disappointment is hard, but you just have to deal with it.
• I learned that walking down a beach with my parents is relaxing.
• I learned that wanting some space doesn’t necessarily mean wanting time away from someone.
• I learned that my best friend is human too, and although I had tried to be sensitive, I learned also that I need to be just a little more.
• I learned that it’s easy for me to talk to people if I let myself.
• I learned my family can always tell that I’m sad, and always wants to help. I also learned that sometimes it helps to suggest ways they can comfort me or ways to help fix the problem.
• I learned that sometimes it just feels good to cry. (and that’s okay)
• I learned that even if there are some problems my friends are there. Even if not physically standing next to me.
• I learned that Julia has some obsession with Mayan calendars.
• I learned that John is very understanding and knows not to say what I want to hear, but what I need to hear. (because I really do want to hear what it is that needs to be heard)
• I learned that cake tops off a good feeling.
• I learned that I could stay up until 3 in the morning and not feel tired because I was so into the book I was reading.
• I learned things about relationships from that book.

I don’t enjoy weeks like this themselves, but I love the relaxing, “It’s all good” feeling afterward
