The grass is greener..

Heh! 

Whoever came up with that phrase really did know what he was talking about.

It reminds me of  a time when Weru asked me what was wrong with me, don't i vet people before i welcome them into my fantastic life? :) Hehehe,..

Apparently i don't. And thus the reason why i find myself thinking, that the grass must indeed be greener on the other side, that translated means, i was happier before i got myself involved with you.

Of late, i find myself examining some of the relationships i have created for myself and well, i must say that i have done well.

First,

i have done a darn good job of weaving myself into a tangled mess of meaningless relationships that i'm either too afraid to let go of, or that i couldn't care less about whether they continue to exist or not.

And then, there's that other group. The support system  have built for myself, that consists of only two constants. God  and family.
Although not all related by blood, i have a sister from another mother,..even though the closeness of our relationship describes at least the blood relations between identical twins.
I can tell her exactly what's on my mind, when it's on my mind.
Sometimes i wonder, what would happen to me if she ceased to be in my life.
I can tell you for one, i would be one shy, scared and unambitious person. I probably wouldn't be doing any of the things i'm doing with my life. Because even though i don't follow her advice always, it's nice to share your ideas with someone who always has your best interests at heart.

Then, there's the roving constant. These are the good friends who i trust and love dearly. Many of these relationships are less than 5yrs in age and those which are, have stood the tests of time.

The coolest thing about this group is that we easily pick up from wherever we left off, even years later! :)

So in that department i haven't really neshed :)

What was this post about again?
oh yes.
grass and greeness..

Once my uncle told a joke that people who live in large houses always have something negative to say about their homes to those whose homes are not as palacial :)
okay fine, it wasn't exactly a joke, but more like an ironic story.
Those who view life from the outside don't see that when you move into a new home, with a large front yard, lots of plants, lots of space, get pets, there's a whole new set of challenges that come with it.

They don't see the cost of the guards, maintaining the dogs, keeping the lawns perfectly manicured, or even the wars with the children to help dust the home.

Hey! I'm not saying tha it's all gloom darling! I enjoy the perks that come with a larger home. My own room. Space to meditate with, a large kitchen, car priviledges, it's such a pity though that the house still isn't big enough so as to ensure i don't run into my hormonal teenager of a 12yr old sister :(

Anyhow, the point of this post is that,..
sometimes, when people feel unappreciated, or even under-valued, they tend to think that the grass is greener on the other side. So make sure, that today, those who matter to you, know how much you appreciate them.

I appreciate every single person in my life, even though sometimes they may drive me up the wall!
It is after all,..

All my love,
