mid-life.

Different.

Walking through this half a century life has been rough. Rough in that I am beginning to look back at my 20s, 30s and 40s with regrets and disappointments. Today I said aloud, “why was I given those parents?” If I had a different set of parents and a different childhood, would my life path be different? Today, I am grateful and sad at the same time. There is much that is right and well in my world. And there are a few things that I desperately wish were different. Desperately. If only I had made different decisions. Maybe the word for the day is different.

Trying to guess how another person feels will drive you mad. The vagueness and lack of communication only pushes you away further. It’s draining to be with people who don’t help you be with them.

@sylvestermcnutt, communicate (via sylvestermcnutt)

That last part, “It’s draining to be with people who don’t help you be with them.”

Yes!
