I beleive there are times in everyone's lives where they become fustrated with the people who are around them. As Matt and I are nearing the end of our time in Durango, a place filled with so many of our memories, I am struggling being able to come to terms with some people who are close to me, and us. I have realized as I struggle with this, it takes a great deal of patience and positive thinking on my part. However, no matter how many times I literally force myself to hold back angry words from people I love, or once loved, I find myself thinking there was once more than anger/annoyance here. I think that every person has, or will, find themselves in this situation. A time when you outgrow friendships and relationships. The thought that has kept me sane during these times is that at one point we have relationships with certain people for a reason. While someone may only grace your life for a season, I think they serve some purpose. So, when I find myself getting upset or down about the people around me I try to remember that and how many good times, life lessons, and what purpose each relationship has provided for me in my life thus far.
Hi,
Came across your blog as I was researching stuff about seattle. I now reside in NY and really need a change. My husband and I are planning a look see trip in September. Have you relocated yet? Any info from you would be appreciated. By the way, I can relate to the relationship thing because I am going through a similar mymetamorphoses myself. Good luck with everything.
Andrea
