Relationship drama...

"Abracadabra! Nope. You're still a bitch."

- sarcasticquotes.com

The question of the day: how much latitude do we give the people in our lives? Or said in a more politically correct manner, how much tolerance and flexibility do we extend, given ongoing friction and challenge in certain relationships? There are successful love/hate relationships, probably because the love can be so rewarding that we're willing to accept the accompanying difficulties. On the other hand, if the "dynamic" becomes unhealthy and upsetting to an extreme degree, then perhaps it's time to sit down with ourselves and make some decisions. Do we choose self-protection or loyalty/the love part/ history? Tough choice.

Complaining....

"Shut the fuck up and stop complaining."

Is it just me, or is complaining a way of life for some people? Personally, I'd rather watch a movie. Much better drama, Lol. Just sayin' ;)

How well do we love? ...

"Passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati."

- Novelist Mark Z. Danielewski

Does our brand of love stand the test of time and difficulty? Are we delivering unconditional love? Just sayin' ;)

Worry....

"Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but gets you nowhere."

- an old saying

Easier said than done at times, but great sentiment. Health and wellness experts say, instead of worrying, we should find an action that will give us some positive benefit (i.e. exercise, writing, research etc.). :)

Passive aggressive...

"When a woman says 'Do whatever you want.' Do NOT do whatever you want."

- sarcastic quotes.com

Ha ha... But for the men out there, probably not so fun or funny! ;) Do we admit that we can be passive-aggressive/emotional/scary at times ladies? Just sayin' ;)

White towel....

"Whatever."

Uh, yeah... Passive-aggressive and/or giving up?... sometimes there's nothing else to do, but let it go. Just sayin' ;)

Energy conservation...

"Askhole"

A person who constantly asks for your advice, yet always does the opposite of what you told them."

- sarcastic quotes.com

We may underestimate the amount of energy it takes to "help" people. When do we offer our thoughts, opinions, help, and when do we beg off and nurture ourselves instead? Up to each of us, I guess... But self care is more important than feeling obligated to others, especially if it doesn't seem to change anything.  Just sayin' ;)
