Signs, feelings and smack in the face.

I was told a few days ago that you can't change some people's minds, no matter what you do or say. I know this to be true, because nine times out of ten I'm a stubborn ass, but in some cases, if you're the one pressuring, you do have to take a couple steps back and just let things play out on their own, no matter how much it may hurt, annoy or drive you crazy because you can't help. Granted, anyone who knows me knows I cannot stand by and watch someone self destruct, but it happens. Pressuring will only push that person or the situation away further and further.

My problem lies in having to disregard signs. Things that slapped me in the face, sent chills down my spine and made me smile seemingly permanently. And hearing about them on the other side.

Well, I guess, as my hero and idol says, "Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers." Maybe something even better will happen. Hopefully. Just gotta keep that smile. :)
