it's complicated...


Life is complicated. I remember when I was a little girl thinking that "when I grow up everything will be so easy and life will be great" and now I kinda am a grown up I think that when I was a kid everything was so easy and life was great....:)

As a kid life is black and white, yes or no, bad or good, and as I grow older I realize it doesn't quite work that way,..... like when I actually try to match the "off-white" trim in my house and find out that there are about a gazillion shades of white and off-white just as there are a bazillion shades of black, grey and darkish brown....not to mention the hundreds of millions of colors in between.....

Which makes life complicated.

How do I say that I am right and you are wrong in any given situation? I am learning that as much as I'd like to be right (say in every argument with my husband), if I truly think about it for more than an instant, or can put myself in another position, I am never truly "right" after all....I may be right for me (and if Andrew reads this, that is my story and I am sticking to it) but reality is there is no one right answer. We are all individuals with unique experiences and personalities which gives way for infinite possibilities of getting to a good solution....in the best way we can,.... rather than the "right" way....
