It just kept going and going.....

It seems everyone posts quotes or words of wisdom, but how often are those words taken to heart? 

How often do people belittle others for not taking them to heart, when they themselves cannot say the same? 

The world is made up of all kinds. It is up to us to judge who is good enough, kind enough, fair enough, worthy enough to stay in ours. Afterall, the people we surround ourselves with are the ones that make up our own personal world. If certain ones continue to belittle, condemn and remind us of our mistakes or past then are they really allowed to continue on with our future?

 That is a hard question to answer because some of these people mean a lot to you, some of these people are who you consider loved ones, some you consider acquaintances. 

There are certain reasons that people cannot continue to be civil to each other, those reasons are personal and full of emotion. It is up to us to make up our own minds who is important enough to continue to do certain things to us that may irritate, remind or even indirectly hint past, present and even future thoughts or events.

 It is up to us to choose who our true friends and family truly are. It is up to us to remind ourselves the true definition of friend, or the true definition of family. Sometimes the definitions do not add up to the feelings, sometimes they do. It is all in your outlook on the relationships. It is all in how you are willing it to be. 

Sometimes, there is just nothing that can be done to change it, but it is up to us to try. If we're willing. Will has to come deep from inside, from all parties, just not one...
