Adina’s Cute & Perky Blog!

Yesterday,  mine said:

Sometimes when our friends  see us making serious progress towards our goals, they get a little upset  because they think they might be losing us. This may be what is beginning today  Virgo, in terms of their irritation. There could be one of two things happening  with them: either they have lower standards and don’t want to change, or they  are trying to make changes themselves but suffer from a fear of losing the old  reliable comfort zone. There are two things you can do: either let them go or  pull them up with you. At least you have a choice that does not compromise your  own goals. They might tell you that it’s lonely at the top, but the truth is  that it’s not: it’s just more crowded at the  bottom.

I thought about those words  for a while.

That last part got  me.

They might tell you that it’s  lonely at the top, but the truth is that it’s not: it’s just more crowded at the  bottom.

I thought about the struggles  I went through to make it to this point in my life.

And I thought about the friendships I have lost along the  way.

Yes. I have lost  some.

I lost some when I ceased to be fun  to eat out with, because I only ordered healthy food.

Others when I decided to turn some of my friend time into gym  time.

And believe it or not, I even lost  a few over this Blog!

Keeping this Blog  keeps me grounded.

Accountable.

So, I keep  it.

There have been times I arrived late  or left early to make sure I did got it written.

And two friends in particular did not like this new  habit.

Not at  all.

They see it as  pointless.

Pointless, because it doesn’t  mean anything to them.

Although it  should, because it means I am happy!

And  one of those two wants…to write.

But has  yet to put the pen to the paper or the fingers to the  keyboard.

But what did that horoscope  say?

There are two things you can do:  either let them go or pull them up with you.

I tried for a long time to pull some people with  me.

But when I have to pull, that means  I’m turned around backwards.

Dug in. 

At a standstill. 

Trying so hard to pull, that I am no  longer pushing forward.

And while it  hurts to let go, it would hurt more to let go of  myself.

Some choices are not easy to  make, but at least there are choices to be had.
