today's track: new order - regret

I just have a few comments on love and friendship today...

Love, like many things in life, doesn't always work out the way you expect it to. I've learned to live with that. Some people haven't. I also learned long ago that love makes no promises and sometimes hearts get broken. But rest assured that it's a vicious cycle and you'll be back in love before you know it. It's like a ball of clay -- at first it's abstract, mishapen. As you slowly mould it to an idea in your head you realize that it has potential to be something beautiful. Sometimes you don't like the direction, sometimes it doesn't turn out the way you planned or had in mind, sometimes you think you're done and someone pushes it off the table and shatters it into a thousand pieces. After starting over several times you eventually create something you're happy with and you cherish it because of all the hardwork that went into it.

As for friendships, they last as long as both sides feel important to each other. So ask yourself this the next time a friendship doesn't work out, "did I make the other person feel important; was I important to the other person; is this friendship important?" If any of those are no, then hopefully you can fix that before it's too late. Sometimes you catch it in time. Sometimes you don't. Whatever happens though, just remember -- life's too short for regrets.
