Epiphanies.

When one comes to a realization concerning their character, the results bring about major change. Today, a friend and I spoke about how a simple detail was sort of glossed over. I think he fortified his self worth by realizing that he was not necessarily in the wrong. I mean, let's face it...one would always feel good when they figure out that they were the bigger person.

People are simply who they are...or at least try to be. There are traits and habits that some people have that we cannot simply change. There are things that we attempt to cope with, but in reality should not tolerate.

When we're in love, we think differently. One would tend to rationalize circumstances to cater to the benefit of a doubt. It takes a lot for someone to admit their wrong or take responsibility for certain actions. It's even more difficult to take responsibility for the faults of others. Sadly, there are times where our misplaced trust bites back. In other words, we make mistakes.

Mistakes are the only tools we can fully rely on. Every human is capable of making one....whether its deliberate or not. I'm not saying that mistakes are fun... Obviously most mistakes happen due to clouded judgement or simple instant gratification.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

I never did believe in that. I've been the victim and I've been the one who initiated it. It doesn't feel good to be on either side.

The best revenge is living well.

Be who you are. Go with what you know...

A dish served cold? That shit better be DESSERT.

Normally, I would have let this whole thought process just go to waste with a good night's sleep. Not this time though. I couldn't let myself sleep without writing. I need to let myself know how I feel sometimes.

Friend, after opening yourself up I realized a lot of things. I respect you and love you so much more. It comforts me to know that you trust me enough to share and confide in me. You are a better person for stepping up and learning from your mistakes and being able to be patient enough to put the pieces together. You are an awesome person. Remember that everyone has to strive to be better people. You are important. You are loved for who you are...shortcomings and all.

Now I can sleep. My cousin's getting married in 9 1/2 hours...whoa.
