I tend to see potential in other people; its a gift, in a way, but also a terrible, terrible curse. When I can see what someone is capable of, and then they say something like "One day, I'd like to do so and so", wherein that is something that I can readily see is within their potential, then I want to, and will, contribute my energies to that effort. All too often, however, it turns out that most folks 1) have much greater potential than they will ever realize and 2) find it easier to come up with reasons as to why they shouldn't fulfill their own desires than they do to actually put an effort into reaching those dreams. I've gradually come to realize that I need to stop putting out such efforts except when someone consciously requests my aid. To often, I've gone along attempting to support someone in reaching a dream that they have shared with me, only to later have this turned on me, like I was pushing them to do something they didn't wanna do. Freaky. I've had enough of that, for certain.


oh, you too eh? except that i also get the concious request for help plus the turning when they find that they still have to Do It (whatever it is) and if they don't, i get the blame for nagging, or pushing, or, "well, i *never* asked you for help~" ... even though they did.

grah.

must stop being melancholy now. hopefully the chocolate will help :/
