Things I realized/learned today.

I really don't know how to release my frustrations.

Things I've learned/wondered about/figured out today

Do I have the strength to respond when someone is mad at me?

Do I have the strength to start what might be an argument?

Having empathy and understanding someone's viewpoint does not imply changing one's own viewpoint or boundaries. That said, if you find it hard to empathize with someone, does that mean you can't love them?

Do I hold onto criticism too much and am I too willing to find fault with myself. How does one rectify the desire to not see evil in others and not go too far in seeing evil in oneself?

Everyone has to decide how much they can take from someone else. How much should someone be willing to change for someone else?

Things I've learned/figured out today

I've had an on and off relationship with a woman over the past few months. It ended quite recently and from what she told me/what I've figured out on my own:

1) Don't be afraid to lose the person you're involved with. Let the person know as much as they can about you.

2) You should be just as concerned with whether the other person loves you as to whether you really love the other person.

3) When listening to a story a person is telling you, try to figure out what their interest is as well as what is interesting to you.
