Lately, I’ve been feeling the stress of a lot of situations.  Some are pretty personal so I’d rather not get into it on the open web, but regardless of my stress I am still having struggles.  Maybe I put too much pressure on myself?  I am a little bit of a perfectionist.  Maybe I took more responsibility than I should have?  Or maybe I am just not surrounding myself by the right kind of people.

These are feelings that hopefully I am not alone with.  Today I saw a quote, “Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one” from Grandmother Willow in Pocahontas.  I’ve heard this quote said a hundred different times from a hundred different songs and movies.  But today when I saw it, it made me stop and read it again and again.  Isn’t it funny how sometimes things don’t affect you but another time it will?  It could even change your day or your outlook on a certain situation.

Then as I was watching the Kardashians Scott said, “Don’t leave it up in the air anymore, deal with it.”  That was so blunt and raw and again it made me stop and think.  I have to let people know how I feel.  Even more important, I have to let myself know how I feel.  I have to realize when I am at my breaking point.  Realize when I need to stand up for what I need, deserve and think is right.  Life gets hard, that is nothing new.  But, we all have to grow up and learn how to deal with our issues.  Otherwise, we will be walked over our whole lives.  Who wants to live their life as a doormat?
