carriebradshawwwRelationships, no matter how good, are inevitibly a series of compromises. But how much of ourselves should we be\’a0 willing to sacrifice for the other person before we stop being ourselves? In a relationship, when does the art of compromise…become compromising.

Trust is a fragile thing

trustTrust is a fragile thing. Once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom. But once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover. Of course the truth is, we never know who we can trust. Those we’re closest to can betray us, and total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned.

At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So, you can waste your life drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines…that are way too dangerous to cross.

(Just for reference, Lily said that to her mother. Ouch.)

onetreehillWhen you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it’s only in the darkest night that you’ll see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home. So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, to fall because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you’ll get everything you wished for. Maybe you’ll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end the journey is the destination.

(I was President of my high school and used this quote in my graduation speech. I remember I was arguing with a friend over which quotes we’d use. Good times, Randi.)

gossipgirlbookinthefireI’ve realized that while we can’t tear out a single page of our life, we can throw the whole book in the fire.

(This week’s GG was intense.)

greysanatomyfearI don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong? What if you’re making a mistake you can’t undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can’t pretend we hadn’t been told. We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, most intractable mistake, beat the hell out of never trying.
