 Saving Me
You know those places in life where you have exactly two options?  And both options are really just another version of each other.  Both options leave you either walking away from something (making you feel like a failure) or staying (and hating yourself even more for being so goddamn spineless).  I am so there.

I'm in this lit up room all alone.  There are no doors or windows or other people, but I know exactly where I am.  Alone but safe.  But then they shut off the lights and put other people in with you and your problem isn't just yours anymore.  It's theirs too.  And so every move I make I have a million different reasons and ways to measure the pros and cons of my possible move, my possible escape.  I just want to be free.  But now there are so many others wrapped up hang on to me that it's not strictly about me any longer.  It is about a much larger picture.

And then.  I am alone again in a dark room with no windows and two doors.  Each door is a decision I could make.  On one side of the door certain people will stand.  Beyond the other....there may be no one to greet me. 

What do I have to gain?  My soul.  My will.  My spine.  My happiness.  Everything that makes me ME.
What do I have to lose?  Everything.

Which door do you choose?

Them or you?

you can't lose everything if you gain YOU.
aren't YOU the most important person in life that you have to respond to?
cheers and good luck!

Sticky's right on the money, LG, you have to choose what's right for YOU and the rest of the world be damned. I did some damage when I quit my job, but I had to do it for ME, my pride, my spine. It wasn't easy, I can tell you that, but it was RIGHT.

Good luck with this, honey :)

hummm... its really easy... your in this room with people because they wanted to be there with you, because of who you are, because of your pride, your spine, your will, your soul, and everything that makes you... you.

So to choose your self to make yourself happy or whole or what ever you need. Most of these people will still be around. and those that leave will eaither come back in their own time because they did not understand what you really needed, or will be gone forever but that is ok because they were just feeding off of you like negative energy anyway.

Do your thing... for you... we all need a little me time.

No matter what door you pick, I'll be on the other side. I'm here for you...

Absolutly impossible to help, love, care for, or support others if you can not do it for you first.

There will be someone or many there for you no matter what choice you make.

But like everyone else has said it has to be the decsion that is best for you and only you. Those who love you will follow you through thick and thin, heartache and happiness.

But YOU are the most important person that matters.
