Being adult forces us to change, and change is a painful thing.


Part of being an adult is to adapt yourself to the situation – and not make the situation change to accomodate you.
Forcing the world to change for one person is selfish.
I just wrote an article in my blog about it – and some other things as well – http://tervsparadigm.blogspot.com</p>

Im just begginning to realise that life is a game.. and that everyone is a player, even the people that love you the most, they still want whats best for themselves..

I guess no matter what, youve gota put yourself number one and use information as power to get what you want out of life..

Wouldnt it be nice if we could get by in life without not having to keep a part of ourselves protected.
