I have a lot of friends who like to party...
I don't want that anymore.
I'm actually for the first time in my life starting to think about what kind of long lasting relationships I want to have: marriage and who do I want to keep in my inner circle.
I need the people around me to all have similar morals and a strong code of ethics. I don't need for all of my friends to think the same things as I do. I need to hear differing opinions, but I also need moral support.
Is this what it's like getting older: "...putting away childish things..."
It seems difficult, extremely difficult, to guard your heart and you mind. There are so many terrible images, words, thoughts that try to push into your mind and take root there. Especially here in LA. And I wasn't really paying attention until recently, but now I see it. I see it everywhere on billboards, radio stations, TV shows, movies...everywhere you turn.
So I need good people around me to encourage me to be a better person, a better christian, just better. Life is too short and too precious to waste. I have too much to accomplish to let myself get sidetracked.
I'm just thinking...
I have a habbit of running away from arguments. Not all. And not right away. But always when the other person begins spewing words so quickly and forcefully that I can't get a word in/ I feel they are no longer listening to me. At this point I don't know what to do so I hang up the phone or walk away or push that person out the door.
And I don't know...maybe this is a bit childish of me. ...but it usually works out. I mean when an argument reaches that point it isn't rational anyway...so why keep going right?
So recently I have begun to wonder...is there a better way? If so what is that?
