Decisions and Peeing
When does it become okay to let your goals go or put them on hold, because pursuing them may cause you to lose someone?
Is this a stupid or redundant question in any way? Honestly. I�m asking.
Here�s my pickle: It seems to me that if someone has a goal in life, like finishing school, moving somewhere, taking a big career step ect., and obtaining that goal will affect someone else (perhaps they cannot move with you), then you will reach a point where you will have to choose between the goal and the person.
That may be all well and good, but I can�t seem to figure out when this decision is to be made. I mean, you are either committed to each other, in which case you�ll make it work once the goal is completed, or you are not committed to each other and each goes about his or her own life.
Well�THAT may be all well and good, but prior to being totally committed to each other, you will have a phase of time between �we aren�t just dating anymore� and �I just pledged my life and my fortune to you�. So where in that middle phase, do you decide that you need to give up a goal or put on the back burner, while you try to see if you are going to go into permanent phase with this person?
Huh?? Anyone??
On a lighter note�women who gather in the restroom at the work place are evil. Why do you do this? Do you really want to stand there and listen to other people pee?
