MORNING!
Yes, Ive been away for a while. I just needed a lil break. I took a lil vacay, and Im feeling waaaaaaay better than before. Confusion was narrating my life but clarity has come in to do some editing ;-) Things happen for a reason and i believe in destiny. What you want, may not always be what you need. Life is not easy and sometimes you have to lose things to appreciate what you have. And once it's gone, you realize you really didnt need it after all. There are so many different types of people and im learning more and more about how to deal with certain ones.
Some people are like paper plates. You're only supposed to use them ONCE! And then you throw them away. There is no washing, drying, and re-using. They are not meant for that. These people cant withstand the heat from the dishwasher and will lose their shape. Sometimes you just dont feel like doing the dishes and you need something convenient. You dont treat these people like your regular glass or china. Just use them and be done. ( i dont condone this type of behavior, just stating facts lol)
You always have your boomerangs. These are the people you cant seem to keep a handle on for longer than a couple months at a time. When you throw them out they always come back, and you cant wait to catch them. Sometimes they come back just when you need them, and they leave after they've served their purpose. Although they might be the most fun, they're not meant to stay around, and maybe that's best.
Then there are your anchors (my fave!). These are the people that hold you down no matter what. They help you through the storms and sometimes they even create them ;-) But no matter what, they help keep you grounded and you can count on them to be there when you need them. Regardless of where you float to, your anchor is ready to drop down and make sure you dont stray to far from where you need to be. These people arent going anywhere.
Dont try and substitute one for another. You cant change someones makeup! A paper plate is a paper plate for a reason. Your boomerang is incapable of being your anchor. Period. Know who you're dealing with and allow them to serve their purpose. Sidenote: people are different things to different people. Its possible for someone to be your boomerang while being an anchor to someone else! So dont expect your paper plate to "boomerang" how they did for the last person ;-)
Hey you! If you have any idea who this might be I really like your thought process. However, I wonder if its the right move to always classify your loved one, friend or even a relative. Wouldnt that be placing people in a box if you catagorize one another. Lets say that you have been with a paper plate, I dont think that anyone deserves that title unless they tell you thats who they are. I'm a firm believer that everyone can change. With that stated I'll say that any boomerang can decide to be an anchor for a special someone.
