Still truly impressed by a dear friend who is so determined to be happy, to be fulfilled, that, in the midst of a difficult personal situation, she forced herself to reflect upon her actions in order to understand and then break the rigid, suffocating patterns, which were getting in her way. She's beginning to understand that these patterns are only keeping her locked in the past and unhappy. Who wants to waste time punishing others when you're the one who ends up, emotionally at least, in the naughty corner?
If that doesn't seem like a big deal to you--a person actually taking responsibility for their unhappiness, and then taking action to bring about positive change--I assume you're either a pod-person (#jealous!), or you think happiness is overrated. Alas.
Since I'd hardly suggest I'm the happiest-f**king-go-lucky person ever... maybe that's why I have such respect for people who take action and responsibility, and are determined to enjoy their lives today...not make excuses about how everything that sucks is someone else's fault. Because while that may seem easy for a while, at the end, it's hard to truly live when your whole life is one big excuse.

Anyway, this is just a note to an awesome friend...she knows who she is, in all respects!
