I had a very nice evening with a good friend last night. In the course of the evening, she let me know, very gently but also directly, that maybe, just maybe, I might have a tendency to give in to things just a little too easily. And I agreed. Her message basically was, there is no reason I have to accept what is happening to me gracefully and with resignation (and I admit that I often believe this is the path of courage and maturity). She wouldn’t go there with me.

She made it clear that I can also decide that this isn’t what I want and start believing in alternate destinies.

What a good friend.

You know, it is one thing for me to bring my codependent tendencies into relationships, but do I really have to be co-dependent with the universe too? Of course, the answer is no.

If the universe hands me bullshit, I have every right to slap the universe in the cheek with a cold dead fish.
“F*** You, Universe! You think you know what is going to happen? Well watch this!”
