My whole life I have always dealt with conflict of any type the same way; head on. It's not that I enjoy conflict, in fact it is the exact opposite, I HATE it. But for me if I felt that someone did something to me or someone I loved that wasn't nice I couldn't just walk away, screw what Elsa said, I wasn't someone who could let it go.
This goes without saying that the last few years the fighter in me has been in a battle or two. I'm not sure if it is because I am getting older or just reached a new point but something has changed. It used to be that if someone were to do something that I felt to be uncouth dropping the issue wasn't an option. I had to confront the situation and let them know why I didn't like their actions. I don't confront things anymore, this isn't to say that my feelings don't get hurt at times or that I don't disagree with situations still, but I just move on. I wish I could say 'move on' in the most mature way possible but when I say it I mean I cut the person and the situation completely out of my life... 'out of site, out of mind' (or at least an attempt to be out of mind). Is this the best way to handle things? I'm not sure to be honest... so, if you have advice I am open to it. I guess I have found that sometimes it is easier to have peace over a feeling of being right.
This post is mostly different than my ones lately about Boston, her growing up and our lives but I think this issue has been on my mind lately. I heard a saying once about friendship and being selective with those you trust... it basically said it is better to have four quarters rather than one hundred pennies and it has really made evaluate and be thankful for the 'quarters' that I have.
