Take the pieces when you go

This is a serious note..... I know me? Serious?

So you know how you put a part of your heart into everything you enjoy right, whether it be your friendships, relationships, job, or hobby. when something goes wrong in one of those areas what do you do? For instance say your hobby is costuming and you make what you think is a fantastic costume, but then someone either makes fun of it laughs at it or tells you how you SHOULD have done it. Part of your heart that you put into that is broken no? But you eventually pick up the pieces mend them back together and move on. Say this happens many times and at this point you feel broken down. Well this part of your heart that you have been mending has been broken down into so many tiny pieces that you are having a hard time fitting them back together again to bring yourself to get back out there and do it again. While you are trying to search for those few last pieces ( like motivation and trust) one more last laugh comes along .... And shatters what was left of the love you had for that hobby. That last laugh left you broken. Broken to something you once loved more than you realized.

While people do and should have opinions, please think about how you express them. People, emotions, and hearts are easily broken. While I am not perfect by any means, I would rather not be responsible knowing that I caused that last shatter and broke someone. All we can do is be here for one another and try to survive. We all will be broken at some point by parents, friends, or spouses be there for your friends when it happens for one day you will need them too.

Too much you think?? ;)

I love it Mandi. I couldn't have said it any better. It is something I'm going through right now, just not costuming. Thank you for putting it into words, it made my day...really it did!!
