Your friends are always (well usually,) right. No matter what you think at the time, that advice you received from a friend was their way of protecting you from harm and making sure you were always okay and out of harm. Someone should have for-warned me before a stupid situation that happened earlier this week. So, as much as this topic could be very broad and apply to pretty much anything mine has a more precise time/date. The first week of February 2016. Just a shit week. I don't usually put myself first in situations, in fact I'm (for whatever reason) the person to put everyone else's feelings before my own - call it my social insecurities... This week was one of those weeks where I put someone else, for the entire week, before myself. I cancelled work meetings/trips, lunch dates, hangouts with friends just to be at this particular person's beck and call. And you know what, sitting here in bed with a cup of tea while burning candles on a very late Friday night/very early Saturday morning (it's currently 1am...) [Nick Offerman was in Brisbane tonight performing his show Full Bush and Meg and I got home from that 2 hours ago, so I'm unwinding and preparing this post - he was awesome by the way]. I've realised that your friends are right. Well, in this situation my friends are. Meg told me to put myself before my friend, not to make it so personal and in the beginning I didn't listen but fuck I wish I'd listened... You know why?! Because she was right... Why did I allow someone who was no longer a significant part of my life take so much priority over it. Over everything. I didn't have any time for myself this week, this is the first time since Sunday night that I've actually slept in my own bed in my own house. I don't particularly know where else to take this rant because I'm exhausted and plan to wake up in 4 or so hours to do a workout and head back down to Brisbane for a little bit to clear all these stupid thoughts in my head. Basically, listen to your friends people... They've actually got your best interest at heart (and mind).
