This is what it's like

What do you do when someone you care about tells you something cruel that you really weren't ready to hear? You get hurt, you get mad, you tell them so they can fix it, they already know, they apologize about a zillion times, you forgive them because it's torturing them more than it's going to torture you. You fix it, you get better, you grow together, you're stronger because of it. It goes back to that old saying that goes something like, you have to experience the lows so that you better appreciate the highs. If you don't get mad and sad and angry and hurt, then you don't get to be happy and joyful and ecstatic and loved. That isn't a rule, but it's part of the human experience to endure a wide spectrum of emotions. Plus it puts part of the fun in life. Now I have a better knowledge that I am stronger with that person because of one bone headed thing that was said in error that they spent the next half hour trying to remedy. Sure I'll be a little more careful how I dress and hold myself around them now, but that's a good thing, I don't want to lose my ability to feel beautiful and to care what I'm wearing and how I act. I know that people get comfortable together and that you get more accustomed to others, but I don't even do unladylike things by myself.. so I hope I don't change in that regard. I know someone is out there reading this thinking I'm so incredibly naive, and you're right, but I'm also incredibly determined. Life is to be enjoyed, I would put up with a month of sorrow for a day of love and laughter. Life is beautiful.
