I really need to stop taking sides when my friends have weird stuff going on. it’s really unfair to get caught in the cross-fire, and i actually don’t deserve to judge anyways.

I am always surprised when one of my friends gives me advice and I actually think they’re right. My surprise is probably a mark of how conceited I am, or maybe I just have friends who are less right then me (this one’s wayyy more probably, actually :p). But my best (highly intelligent) friend gave me some great advice the other day.
- A lot of the time, 99% of getting something done is just showing up.
And I would have to say that I agree.
