You live life to create a balance because when you're young the main things in life is a relationship, friends, family, money, and education
Relationship: A girlfriend/boyfriend or a life partner.
Friends: the kids you've grown up with and the people you will meet that impact your life.
Family: Your brothers and sisters as well as your mother and father who will love you no matter what (in some cases)
Money: A nice source of income to buy life's uneeded necessities
Education: (last for a reason because it's important but the least of anyone's worries when the rest applies) Your future in the making.
I was talking to a very good friend today and the stuff we were talking about made me realize about happenings in my past which i overlooked. We talked about the balance of these five matters in your life and when one offsets another there may be consequences involved. To your friends and families, it is understandable when friends, families, and education becomes more important than the other. For example, It's understandable to go to your brother's/sister's wedding than going to your friend's birthday party. It's understandable to go take that test that determines your future than to go kick it with your buddies. It's understandable to go see your friend in the hospital than your family reunion. Things can be excused in many scenarios but some are a bit over the top "Are you a damn idiot?" situations. It's uncool to ditch your brother's birthday to go play xbox with your friends. It's uncool to ditch a funeral for class (In my opinion it is). Well, these were some examples for you to come to an understanding of what i'm trying to say... which is what i'm going to say now... haha.
I was thinking about my first two relationships... my first two girlfriends... I gave these two girls all of my time and from these actions i left my friends behind. During this "high on love" bullshit, i left my friends in the shadows and out of my life. Thinking about it now, i sorta understand because when your "high on love" it's hard to seperate but the consequences of my actions were pretty bad. When these relationships crashed and burned, i went back to these friends of mine and resumed my life the way it was before i met these girls. These relationships were my first priority and my friends were my second. They knew it too and thinking about it now, i learned not to do such retarded things to them. I've been blessed with great friends who stuck with me and still took the crap i dished out at them. They continued to be my friend when i took them as second priority and they knew they were my rebound when things were going to crash and burn. I've put love above everything else in life. It was hard, i lived through bullshit drama moments and i went through emotional hell. I put my 100 percent whole into this and what did i end up with in the long run? haha, nothing. Don't put all your eggs in one basket... man because i don't know if i continued that shit to them... how long with i keep these friends? actually the question is, how long will they keep me?
well, if it made sense to you then yay on my part but if it didn't then... heh, truly sorry.
