I always saw this as flat out. If someone isn’t making you happy, if they are bringing you down then why keep them around. Why diminish your own possibilities of happiness for someone else. So what do you do when what is making you upset, what can be considered negative is also what keeps you happy. If that ‘negative’ person per-say is actually also the most positive person in your life?

Right now, I think it would be fantastic if I knew what I wanted even in one single part of my life. Decision making is hard enough when you have to choose between two solid things, but it’s even worse when those things aren’t actually identified. Making that leap of faith, especially when neither option is actually any good is hard. It’s hard to jump into a sea of sharks, but when your only other option is a different sea, with different sharks how do you know what jump is right. I’d like to be able to trust my instinct on it all. It would be pretty nice actually but when the odds of making the wrong decision are so high and you don’t actually know what your instinct is telling you then what happens?
I did this… it’s hard to believe that it’s already been nearly a month. My boyfriend and I packed it all up for a weekend and left. We knew we were going to Nova Scotia but hadn’t decided where. We crossed the border, stopped at the tourist bureau and then decided where we wanted to go. It was amazing, being away without knowing counting on you. We were on our trip alone together… really alone because it was just him and I… no one else to have to bother with or cater to. Fantastic.
