Worth Your Time?
Wow it’s been a REALLY long time since I’ve been on here and did a blog. 2010 has started out to be a – well lets keep it positive and say interesting year although there are other words that would probably be a better fit.
I’m not typically someone who lives with regrets. I tend to do what I want when I want and usually look at things more as life learning experiences. The most important thing we can do is learn and grow but sometimes there are certain things that turn into a regret no matter how hard we try to live without them. I have a couple of recent regrets – I’m not exactly thrilled by this but now it’s time to turn those regrets into something more useful – like putting things into perspective and figuring out what can be taken out of the situation.
Sometimes it’s hard to put things into perspective. I’m struggling with this recently. Some things have happened that I still don’t understand and probably never will – which in part is probably why it’s difficult for me to organize my thoughts about it. The most precious thing anyone can give to you or that you can give to someone else is time. But at what cost?
Sometimes you give someone your time and it works out to be a beautiful friendship or more and sometimes (most times I’d say) you give your time to someone and it turns out to not work out in a good way and is essentially a waste of your precious time (time that could have been given to someone who deserved it). So really how do you weigh out if someone is worth your time? How long do you hang in there to find out? So many questions and yet the bottom line is you don’t know unless you jump in right?
That’s what I thought until recently. I think there is a line for how long one should hang in there and how much time someone should invest before they take a long hard look at the situation and question whether it’s worth it. More times then not you’ll probably find that in fact it’s not worth it – not worth your time – not worth whatever emotions you invest into the situation – just not worth it.
Then of course there are times where things work out to be life long friendships and more for some. I’ve been very blessed to have some very awesome people come into my life – I’ll always be grateful for the few that I’ve found who are with me through everything – the best friends anyone could have. These are the people who are with you no matter the situation – they may not agree with what you are doing but they give their support no matter how hard it is. These are the people worth your time – the people who love and care about you and want you in their lives – these are the people to hold onto and to not let go of. As hard as it is – everyone else is just a stepping stone to get you to the next phase of your life. And before this question comes up from people I know this post is not about any one person but more a few people who have been in out and of my life for various reasons – some of them are not as clear as others but in the end I’m sure things work out the way they are supposed to.
So as you can tell I’ve got a lot that I’m thinking about and trying to work out but I’d also like to take this time to thank my family and friends for sharing their lives with me and allowing me to share mine with them.

As with all things everyone has their own opinion on things. Truth of the matter is most things are opinion based. So much talk and such going on about CA and Prop8. CA yesterday as most anyone who watches or reads news headlines know that CA’s decision with a 6-1 ruling.
This narrow mindedness doesn’t do anyone any good. Face it people – whether you like this or not this will eventually pass. Eventually there will be people in office who believe in EVERYONE having the right to be happy and marry who they want. Lets face it – this now is just wasting money tax payers pay into the system – to keep battling it out like it’s going to end. This battle is still in the beginning stages and I’m willing to bet that in my lifetime I will see change.
What harm does it do to anyone else? Who are we as regular humans (yes all of us no matter what preference you have for your sexual partner) have to tell someone else they are not allowed to marry who they want?? Does anyone really think that a court ruling is going to make everyone straight? What is everyone fighting for? Why are people so against this?? What gives someone else the right to say because of their own personal beliefs that someone else can’t feel and want what everyone who is straight can have??
WHAT HAPPENED TO EQUALITY FOR ALL??? Ask yourself if it were opposite and people who were gay were able to marry their partner and those of us who are straight couldn’t? How would you feel someone telling you that you don’t have the right to marry the person you love?
I find this whole matter a sad sad thing. Trust me – narrow minded thinking doesn’t solve anything. Trying to fit everyone into the same mold is never going to work. If it’s a religious thing – well hello what about the not judging others and all that stuff? Yeah it’s laughable what people will allow. It’s ok if they take matters into their own hands telling people you can’t do what you want – you’re not allowed to marry your partner because they happen to be the same sex.
Who really cares who marries who? The fact that a court has upheld this just shows we need people in office – who are willing to fight for change – a change that will make people happy and gives them the same rights as everyone else.
I’m more then disgusted with the narrow minded individuals who refuse to allow others the same rights they are given. Seriously is anyone really that high and mighty that they should be allowed to make that decision for someone else??? The answer of course is NO – all of us are just regular little humans doing our part.
This will happen – eventually EVERYONE no matter who their partner is or the sex of their partner will be allowed to be married. Why throw us back to the stone age?? Seriously people against same sex marriages – what are you fighting for?
Lets make a difference. Let everyone be happy and marry who they want! Stop molding people – stop trying to play big brother – this decision never should have been a court decision – this never should even have been an issue. Stop wasting money on this and just pass it already – it’s only a matter of time.
