Continuance
I’ve never felt so happy for someone, yet so sick to my stomach after getting a singular piece of news.

Nothing is harder than telling someone that you care about more than most to go ahead and do something that you do not agree with.
And sadly, I’ve done it more than a few times in my life. It’s a strange pain. It’s a mixture of that “If you love them, let them go” concept and the “This isn’t good for me” ideology. People keep telling me, “Sam, you need to look out for yourself- make sure YOU’RE happy”, and I want to be happy- and be happy with someone else. The Thing is, what makes me happy- is making others happy- pretty much regardless of cost or well-being on my end. Which is the road often less taken by most people- yet the one I travel most often.
I was talking to KP, a co-worker, last night about my love life (we were discussing both of ours) and she described something that really is what I need- but yet to find. And that is…
Finding someone who wants to make ME happy as well as be made happy.
Truth is- She’s right. That’s what I need.
Alcohol and Religion are pretty similar. People turn to them on weekends, before they go to bed, and when times are tough. They give you a good feeling, and build friendships you may not have had before. But…at least with alcohol you know when you’ve taken it too far.

More to come… stay tuned.
