This past year...

I'm sure at some point in life, some points more recent than others, I have been "guilty" of it all... I may joke about perfection but know there is nothing perfect in this world. I've always been an observer but during the past year I actually began to pay attention... I started to question lots of things: work, life, love, friendships and have realized that when you begin to practice your faith instead of just "believing" it the aforementioned begin to fall into place…

I have learned a lot about my friends and those that claimed to be my friends… When a friendship get tested its sobering to find out what people believe you to be capable of and in turn enlightened as to what they really think of you. Word has a way of getting out despite the best of efforts… I am in pursuit of a drama free life… So if you’re planning to come to me with it please walk in the other direction.

I believe that despite my shortcomings and what others perceive my shortcomings to be I have this desire to continually see good (in almost everyone)... This unfortunately has resulted in being kicked while I was already "down" and stabbed in the back one too many times :( I don't want to lose hope that there is in fact good in all people and I want others to look past my shortcomings and forgive me when I make mistakes.

So with these things in mind I ask you this.... At what point is it ok to just walk away and wash my hands of it?
