Humans are complex creatures. I feel like I'm being melodramatic, but I honestly believe that mastering interpersonal relationship is an art in itself.
Earlier in the month, multiple events that happened either directly related to me or to the people around me gave me a huge wake-up call. I have difficulty trusting; hence the teeny-weeny amount of people that I make an effort to build and maintain a good relationship. Yet recently, things that happened made me rethink what true friendships really mean and who I can truly consider friends. What do you do when you realize that all your beliefs were nothing but lies? How can you learn to trust yourself again, before anything else? Don't worry, I'm not facing a crisis or anything, but it made me realize how things could possibly transform into major issues and get out of control. It's frightening how fragile a relationship can be, but it also made me cherish the sincere relationships that I have even more than before.
It's so difficult to meet an open-minded person who share the same values and interests as you do. I'm glad to say I know one person who thinks on the same frequency as I do: my mom! Hah, she's like my #1BFF who can read my mind! I'm also grateful for the few friends that I continually have meaningful conversations with! The exchange of thoughts and ideas can be so rejuvenating!
Anyhow, I don't mean to magnify the problems that are continually present in life. I just needed to remind the perfectionist side of me that we live in an imperfect world and that's not gonna change. What can be changed is our perception of the world. So... bust out those rose-colored glasses when needed! :)
