Priorities.

Everyone's got them...to some extent.

But some people's priorities are not where they should be (or where you think they should be, more on that later). Even the best people have been guilty of being preoccupied with other less important matters..sometimes life can become so overwhelming you do not know WHAT to put your energy towards first.

And sometimes people's lack of dechipering what should be paid attention to and what shouldn't is so obvious, it's painful.

But no two people are the same. To assume that one's priorities are the same as yours will just lead to ultimate dissappointment. We all have very different ideas of what is truly important...some are selfless, others are selfish. We only learn who to rely on through the experiences we go through.

I am at the point in my life where my priorities are my family and my own sanity. I love my friends and will always wish the very best for them, but I cannot allow anyone or any form of drama to cause me to stray from what's important. It may paint me as being self righteous, but since the only power I have is over myself, then I must rely on myself and what I think is right and I want to ensure I use my time/energy wisely and for the betterment of my little family.

I can only hope that as people grow they realize how to sort through the chaos that comes their way and learn to focus on what truly matters and leave the residual shit to the wayside, they will be happier in the long run.

10 year anniversary of the sept 11 attacks

My bf and I are currently watching "102 minutes that changed America" atm.

Just watched the first tower collapse.

Even though I may be canadian, I am still affected by what happened that day. To watch the people running in terror...to have heard people calling frantically pleading that someone help them...to watch people jumping out of the building....gawd. I am bawling my eyes out.

My utmost respect goes out to all of the volunteers that helped out, and the police and fire fighters that went out of their way to help and surrender their own lives in order to help others in need.

And my heart goes out to everyone who lost a mother a father a sister a brother an aunt an uncle a grandparent or a friend due to this horrible tragedy.
