In some friendships theirs always one who is super outgoing and fun and another a little more in the dark. Most of us all have this one friend who makes you feel like you have to dim your light to make them shine a little bit more. Is that really fair? Is it selfish of you not to want to dim your light? Their are some people out there that are not as secure or confident in who they are or who they want to become and then their this person that lights up a room with personality. As a best friend I feel like you should always be supportive and understanding and try to give advice. But when is enough, enough?
Should you give up on what you want and who you are because of someone else? Remember this is still a relationship. Just as equal as relationship you have with someone you love and sleep with except sometimes its a little bit more trickier. Lately friends of mine and I feel like our friends have made us feel "stuck". We talk about what we want to be and try to encourage one another .. but nothing ever comes together. You want to help your friend(s) out because it is your friend, but does that mean holding back on your life to wait until someone is ready? Would somebody be wrong to just go out and do it? Go out and live life that way you want without that person?
I know everyone has heard it before, but life is just too short to wait. To sit around and talk about the same stuff, the same drama, the same excuses and the same issues that anger you. One day you just wake up and you feel like you've changed. Why didn't I start a dream of mine earlier? Why was I held back? When was the last time you did something for the first time? That is something we should ask ourselves every now and then.
Don't hold on to the guilt of not trying something or waiting.
