take a breath, step away

i'm in a weird head space right now. watching someone repeatedly make bad (and totally irrational) decisions is painful, and it consumes me. and it shouldn't. i have no power in the situation, so the energy spent feeling this anxiety is useless. right? so what can i do? all i can do is step away and hope for the best...

on an unrelated note, i'm really looking forward to finishing this semester, which will happen soon... finals start this week, papers are due nd then i'll be done... and what better way to celebrate the end of the semester than by going on a cruise, right? right!

oh, and i did go back to barnes and noble and finished reading Heather Armstrong's new book. I really enjoyed it. It was a quick read. A few hours cover to cover, but it was well written and touching, inspiring, jealousy-inducing. ha. Really, though... I enjoyed it...

don't let this person consume you. i've grown up this way so i now find myself backing away from these situations the older i get. you can offer your opinion and help but they will only take it if they want it. don't beat yourself up until they do or you'll just drive yourself into the ground. it's not worth it.
