Relationships This Year | almamyrtle.com

When I was little, if a friend hurt my feelings, it was like 2 seconds and we were back to doing what made us friends in the first place. We looked into what made us fight and then we tried to make things better and most often, we did. We got back to what mattered and we just grew up together.  

     Now, it seems like 1-uping and lack of compassion make the cut. It's like it's edgy to cut people off without actually owning up to ones own b.s. .      It's like strength & wisdom are being confused so much these days. This is not just my stuff that Im talking about, Im speaking on behalf everyone who has reached out to me this year alone regarding relationship fights(you know who you are & I just want to say that you're not obviously not alone in this craziness. Keep your head up). 

     It's like people have to downgrade; anything to avoid a true apology. Anything to avoid acknowledging the actual pain that is keeping the fight alive. 

     Remember this: There is no guarantee that you will be fighting with that person tomorrow, a month from now or any time going forward. Is this fight bigger than love? In your mind, if it is, watch what you say for you may not be given a second chance by the person or by life itself to erase and rearrange those words.

       Also, be sure not to hold back anything that needs to be said out of love and understanding and please... make the BEST of your time and mean what you say.  

Bless,

Alma
