About a year ago, when life started to get really shitty, I came across this little saying and wrote about it. I still find that saying to be true, however, my perspective has changed.
My life has changed very quickly lately, and while it's all for the good, I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed. I told a friend today that I believe the Universe put her into my life for a reason. I told another friend today that everything happens for a reason.
A year ago I was making someone a priority and I was nothing more than his option. As much as I talked about it, I just couldn't grasp it. As unhappy as I was with him, I was too scared to leave him. I knew that he didn't care about me. I knew that I was always an afterthought for him. I knew that I hadn't been a priority for him for a very long time, yet still I stayed.
He set me free a while ago. It took a little while to sink in, but once it did, I felt, strangely....liberated!!!
So anyway, I've been learning a lot of things lately. Things about life, things about myself, things about other people. I'm finally becoming receptive to the lessons that the Universe is trying to teach me.
0ne of the lessons that I've learned is that life doesn't always give you a second chance. Sometimes people come into your life for a reason, and while you may not know why the timing is what it is, you have to seize the moment when you can.
Make sure that the people in your life know how important they are to you. Don't give them a chance to question where they stand in your life.
Make time to have fun. Play with your kids. Act like a kid. Age is only a state of mind. Take care of your body. Have a lot of sex. Lots of it;-)
Follow your dreams. Embrace your passions. Make new friends. Try something new.
I remember how sad and unworthy I used to feel when the person that I made my priority only considered me his option. I never want to make anyone feel that way. So, to all the people that I'm lucky enough to have in my life, old friends, new friends, sushi guides, family....you're not only my option.
You only get one life. Live it to the fullest.

Jenny, I like what you have wrote. Lately I've been feeling this way and often question myself, Why?
Why can't others especially "him" appreciate me? Perhaps, God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. I have also learned that not everyone that we come across in life will appreciate us. Perhaps, we are meant to show them a few things in life before they continue their journey.
Take care!
