No One Owes You *****




...................
in life.  Nothing at all.  Just had a conversation with a friend recently and I said just that.  No one owes me anything- regardless of my experiences, struggles, successes, generosity, kindness…
BUT I owe it to myself and to anyone who comes in contact with me/has to be around me to be the best version of myself. 
 It falls in line with my mantra of never lamenting one’s conditions, meaning if you hate your job- find a new one, if you hate your partner or relationship- be brave, end it and move on.
  But while you are still employed at said job or with said partner (etc, etc) continue to work at full capacity and with passion, continue to be kind or at least civil until you leave your BF/GF/partner/spouse or cut ties with a friend.  Don’t lament, be proactive and change your conditions.  
Don’t ever fall into the trap of letting temporary, negative, external conditions or negative people/a negative environment bring out the worst in you.  You are after all responsible for the choices that led you to be where you are- whether things are wonderful or unfathomably bad.  

Hang on to the passion, spirit, and your light.  There are enough people and forces that bring darkness, hold on to your lightness even when things could be better, and be the best you can be so that you feel good until you make changes to make your situation better.  It’s such a great thing for me to overcome my anger, stress, fight the urge to be combative over minuscule things and continue to be the best person I can be to people who may not deserve it because the bottom line is I feel best when I am my best regardless of my circumstances.

My best friend

when all these feelings of frustration come over me and I need to calm down… where are you now? when I sit alone thinking about life and all the things I’d like to tell you… what are you doing? I’m not thinking about the past, just those promises that I promised to keep. I just wanna know what you’re up to… I wanna know where you’ve been. and, well, if there’s someone new…I’d wanna know that too. at least then, I’d be in your life as a friend and not a stranger. because I don’t like the way it is right now. best friend, I get that we didn’t work out right now. but I don’t get why you left my side. and I  don’t get why you decided not to care. but most of all, I don’t get why every story we swore would never apply to us… now somehow does. P.S: This is for my best friend Anjali I miss her so much....
