*certain exceptions withstanding
the easiest way to deal with people cramping your style is to just to continue acting like you're happy and said cramping never happened - you will soon feel that said cramping never actually happened in the first place. :)
things move at a faster pace nowadays - we are having to pick things up and get involved with them and drop them all in the span of a metaphoric five seconds to prevent getting burnt - the same process would have taken weeks before this. people have shorter fuses and attention spans, less patience and lower thresholds of tolerance. there is less space for mistakes, less forgiveness to share around and a whole lotta less love.
it's funny how everybody is racing to forget rather than remember; the less you remember, the nearer to the top of the pile you are.
every day is a new account opened. all debits and credits are cleared at the end of the day, and your balance will be back to zero a minute past midnight.
get this - the new in thing is your worst enemy also being your best friend. (which kind of makes sense, come to think of it - he/she will be the only person who won't (bother to) lie to you.)
i sound like i'm being all angsty and ranty - and perhaps i would have been - a month ago. i am sorry to announce that i have denounced all of this and am attempting to be one of them (since i can't beat them).
i have also realised with increasing alarm that i am now one of the people i hoped so desperately i would never become.
win none - lose all.
that is the only way to go. :)
