Was reading an old post (this one) and was actually happy to note that some things don't change. But I still haven't managed to do some of those things that I planned to do...and then I remembered this line from Elizabeth Gilbert's book - 'Eat, Pray, Love':

"Tis' better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly."

Three cheers to that!

Sorry

It's just a single word - 'sorry'. And it's so hard to extract from an unwilling giver. It surprises me then, how I'm so easy with saying my sorries - sorries to set things right, sorries to people I love, sorries for things I didn't do. Yes, you read that right - I do that too - say sorry at times for saying stuff and doing things I don't consider wrong. And I'm okay with it.

Someone would say I've compromised on what I believe in, said sorry when I don't feel it. But I don't see it like that. If it makes someone happy, sorts things out, I can do that. If that's the only way of convincing someone of my good intentions, I can do it. As long as that person is important enough for me to go that extra mile. Because you don't want to be estranged from someone who's important to you because they can't get your point. What do you get by being right and being unhappy?

But I'm not sure everyone thinks like that. And I'm beginning to feel like I may be giving up too easily in most arguments. That the sorry goes in vain. Ah well..
