QUOTE OF THE DAY

"If you didn't do what you do, and I didn't do what I do, would things be different?"

What does that quote mean to you?  

I was watching a movie this morning and it really stuck in my mind.  I'm not exactly sure how I would describe how it applies to my life, because there are so many facets to which I could apply it.  Funny enough, it came from a silly, girly movie, but I remembered it a few hours later, so I thought that I should think about it more.  

The first thing that comes to my mind is my relationships.  In the past year, there has been more than one instance where me living where I do, and doing what I do for a profession has gotten in the 'way' of a potential relationship.  And frankly, I didn't like the outcome of either situation.  It's very unfair to the other person and really disheartening when someone assumes you would always choose your career over your heart.  Sometimes maybe, but not every instance, or situation is the same.  Another meaning that I think it might have to me is about how I choose my words and delivery.  I tend to be very blunt and direct.  I'm sure there are times when people think I don't choose my words or have a filter, but 95% of the time I always am sure of what comes out of my mouth is exactly what I want to say.  It's just the way I am.  Sure, there are people that I'm slightly more careful around, because I know they are extra sensitive, but most of the time, it's just me!  :)
