um, read this book.
The Four Agreements
When you take things personal and get pissed at people you are essentially agreeing with what they have said or done to you.
I'm not saying we can all just eliminate our feelings - but we can control how we react to things that are out of our control.
I'm so serious - I think everyone should read this book.
But, no one will probably check this post because there's no melodrama.dun,dun, dunnnn.

Yes I do take shit personal when it involves my child. I'd pretty much go to war with a small nation for him. Tiffany knows this which is why he became her TARGET.

love to everyone. I posted this book because it really sheds some light...which we all need.
I understand when people make you mad and all that but the bad thing about is that it's really bad for you - really. It's bad for your spirit and well being. It brings unwanted stress and drama, and ugliness. No one needs any of those things. dwell on it, holding it and letting it affect you and make you do things you may not typically do, etc...
I gotta say, when I read the posts it literally hurts my heart - on so many different levels.
The book is good and short and easy to read and I know that when you read it - it will change you.
This world is full of garbage, hate and disrespect, and revenge - it doesn't matter whose fault it is, or who did what. It's a disease and it spreads way too easy.
I know I sound all hippy - and "spread the love" but for real, that shit is so real heavy and ugly - no matter what the situation is.
