I don't like sushi, for example. But if for some reason you want sushi and we have planned lunch together, guess what?! Sushi it is.
Does this make me a bad person, or a good person? Well how does sushi define a person right? Some would say that makes me a good friend, so maybe a good all around person right?!
Alright let's come up with another scenario.
So you need some one to go with you to the doctors to have a tummy tuck. Random right. You've never been happy with your weight (umm, who has??). But I happen to remember a recent conversation where you told me you didn't want to have weight loss surgery. Instead, you wanted to dedicate hard work and commitment, and loose that extra weight the real way! Now, because I'm a good listener, and a good friend, I may try to talk you out of this quick fix. Let us take time to talk through this. Get a better plan of action, and weigh the pros and cons. Literally and metaphorically.
Good person or bad person? There are so many different ways this conversation could go. And so many different arguments for both sides. Is this wrong of me? Or am I doing the right thing?
Guess what guys?! Unfortunately life isn't this black and white. There is never right or wrong. Ok, maybe there is right or wrong. But if for some reason you're like me and you might try to help your friend make a conscientious decision, go ahead and do so.
Now you could receive backlash for your candid thoughts or opinions. Scratch that. You WILL receive backlash or hatred, I know! But I'll tell you what my friend, never, ever sacrifice who you are and what you believe. Let me tell you why.
Not everyone is going to love you, hell, most people don't even like themselves. True.

I guess, one of the reasons I began this post, is because this is my life! I am always conflicted. Worried about the person I am, and the person I want to be. Because at 25 I still have a lot to learn, and I do have some growing to do. Shouldn't I be done with all that? Am I the person that I'm going to be at 35, 45 and 55? God I really hope not! And I don't mean that in a bad way! But there are so many things that I haven't experienced and so many things I haven't seen. I like o think that I learn through experiences. Tell me 100 time how to do something, or why I should do something, but until I experience this myself, or learn how said thing affects me, I just can't. Or I won't. More like I won't. I'm very stubborn. But that's neither here nor there, ok!!
So feeling like I'm in the midst of say, a quarter life crisis, I am reaching out! Asking. Please tell me I'm not crazy! Are these little things something you deal with as well. Or do I need to turn myself into the loony bin?
Oh ya. And being a woman. That's for the birds!!
