The Truth shall leave you bruised

Randomness from this weekend:

The thing about telling people the truth is that it usually hurts. It's necessary and it's ultimately helpful, but the moment we start to do it... it's not a pretty site. 

If you don't want people to treat you like a child, you shouldn't act like one.

Good people make concerts worth while.

Meeting up with people you don't often talk to is usually worth it.

Following through on promises can make people really happy, encouraged and feel loved.

Not following through on promises can make people really hurt, disappointed and feel unloved.

Some things will never change no matter how much we want them to.

Words hurt. Even the words you didn't really mean to say and wish you can take back can cut just as fast and as deep as the words you choose with care.

Song for the weekend:
No Better by Sherwood

Game Plans and baby steps.

There's a problem with game plans... the things in life that require good quality well thought out game plans are the ones that require a lot of waiting.

The game plan for paying off debt, for finishing school, for moving, for buying a car or even for getting a better job all require a well planned and well executed game plan. I can write out a game plan. I can even sit down and figure out what's realistic and what's going to require me to win the lottery to make it happen. I write it all out, and then I take the first step and then I get to wait. Wait for the next pay check, for August, for another month or two for leases to be open, wait for a down payment to build up... and wait for everything else to wrap up before I go chase the job.  

Waiting sucks. Waiting makes other people think that you aren't trying, and just to be clear... I'm trying but it's a matter of baby steps.  Painfully slow and tiny baby steps. Sigh.

Songs that make the daily battle a little bit easier:
