i have realized that i am already grown up. hahaha! delayed reaction much? after all, i am 30! i noticed that i have grown a bit mature, become a bit responsible and more practical (especially about money!)
part of that "growing up thing" is my no longer raring for a fight. i used to pick a lot of battles with a lot of people. i would fight with my mom, my sister and the bf. i easily get set off by a wrong word, a nuance or just about anything. in fact, according to the bf, i don't let anything pass. small or big, any matter can become a major battle with me. but not anymore! the bf and i no longer fight. i pick my battles now. instead of arguing with him when we fight, i choose to say a few well-meaning lines and shut up. he shuts up as well and that is because i ignore whatever he says.
one time, on a travel, we were discussing something and he got insulted or hurt by something i said. he started ranting and talking with passion. what i did was to say a few words and slept. i didn't talk to him again after that. since it was nighttime, i was actually able to sleep straight. he talked to me when i awoke. that was it. we were friends again. there was no need for an apology because i stood by what i said. i don't know about him. haha!
growing up does have its advantages. aside from no longer fighting, i also try to avoid stressful circumstances. i protect myself from hurt and pain and focus on being happy and healthy. and it's working! i am quite content and peaceful most of the time.
