Lessons on being a grown up....

*Sigh*...Sometimes being a grown up is much harder than anticipated.

I say this cause I recently got off the phone with one of my closest friends (I've know her since I was 6 year old), and she is having "relationship problems". Overall, it is her second guessing herself, when she is in fact an amazing person. Smart, Creative, Funny, the works. However, she doesn't believe so and in turn, stops anything from starting when it comes to relationships, and complicates everything.

But question: is getting involved with someone really as complicated as we all think? Or is it as simple as saying "I'm picking up what you're putting down.", and we make it complicated cause we're too scared...and awkward??

She asked me for some advice so I gave her some....and more or less walked her through some steps that "helped" me in terms of dealing with relationships (which I seem to do a lot of these days). I told her that it is better to know what did happen, then wonder what could've. I also told her that I've been there. The whole awkward my stomach hurts from trying to explain to 'you' my feelings business. I get it. Second guessing your worth and qualities. Or if you "misread" the signs. But at some point when do you stop acting as though you were 7 years old, and start acting like a grown up? Do we ever really get out of that phase-of the awkwardness and seconding? Honestly? Probably not. But I guess you learn to deal with the awkwardness and maybe even shift it somewhere else for the time being. Cause that little bit of awkwardness...makes relationships worth it...non?
