I Don't Know How I Became This Way

I guess you have to seperate from a person in order to realize the depth or lack thereof that your relationship holds [The Break Up]. hah. (It's true though. What do we watch movies for if not to take a bit of knowledge from them?) When I went away for college the level of appreciation for my family shot up. This wasn't the only situation where I realized this. Another moral from the movie was that sometimes you just have to let things go. It's so funny how things just fall into context. It's like there's a sketch of our life prematurely drawn. And I know I'm looking at this a bit emotionally and connecting things in my range of physical thought to my personal situations, but it feels as if we're just traveling through carvings of graphite. This theme of "letting things go" surfaced in a conversation I had today about my never-ending dilemmas. My solution to people-problems have gone as follows: I see a person who is causing unnecessary obstacles in my life and I do something about it. I remove them from my world. In high school I ebbed away from the loud crowds though they beckoned me. In college I closed my life off to someone I thought would hurt me even though they loved me. This ability, I guess you could call it a defense mechanism, has done more good than bad. I think it's important to know what you're willing to suffer, and if you are willing to suffer, be sure to make time to heal.
