A friend of mine was talking about deciding whether she wanted to stay in a relationship and i thought man, we all make that decision every day.

You know, when you decide to keep your mouth shut instead of say something bitchy. When you decide to be open-minded and listen rather than holding onto your judgements.  When you decide to tell the truth instead of just glossing it over or saying what you think the person wants to hear.

Each of those choices weaken or strengthen the connection we have with our loved ones.  Each time we’re either nurturing what we having, or making a tiny tear.  So we’re choosing all the time.
