Musical Chairs

"The cost of living is high enough, I don't want to pay the price of living someone else's life." ~LoVe Di
If you think of an experience you have lived through, whether a tough time, traumatic, or worry some- if you are anything like me; what usually comes to mind is the support surrounding the experience, while you endured it, rather than the experience itself, or perhaps the music that you listened to to get your through.

Sometimes, the hardest times can come when you feel the pressure of having to react or be a certain way in a certain instance, depending on how you feel regarding expectations of you from your friends and family. This causing a sense of doubt, guilt and fear for making the wrong choices.

Every episode is individual, since each of us can only bring into it the knowledge, the understanding and our own personalities and behaviours. We cannot sit in someone else's experience.

Just as many have expectations or hopes for us, we also will find ourselves perhaps whispering under our breaths for others to make decisions, or root for them to "make the right choices" that we feel are right. Fortunately, there is no right or wrong, as what can be right for one, would be wrong for another, it just simply depends on the person.

Our most important role for each other, is to be sure that we give the energy of support, while each of us walks our path, perhaps tripping a few times, over each other, and maybe worse falling over our own two feet.

You owe it to yourself to do what you feel is best at the best of times and at the worst of times.
What's the worst that can happen if you give it your all?
And having a friend there to listen to you, when you may not even be able to hear yourself think, can be music to your ears.
