Okay, so where was I? Speaking about ties with people and my judgement on those ties. I doubt I'm the only person who knows people that seem like a positive presence in my life, but really just stir things up. Life would be better without them, but (by some strange effect of association) the tie is sometimes difficult to break. Maybe it's some subconscious desire to be associated with the person, or maybe it's just being scared to hurt someone or anger someone. Either way, it's something I need to work on. I need to improve my ability to recognize people who are going to keep me from moving forward and I need to let myself forget about them. Hopefully this will also help me to bring the people who care about me closer.
