Know what you deserve

This will be a shortie since I'm tired and have a long day tomorrow, but simply put - don't settle. I've been coming to find more and more lately that my forgiving nature can be a fault. My Dad had a few great nuggets of wisdom he shared with me over the phone a few weeks back, and it seems pretty fitting right now.

(i'm paraphrasing a bit, but you get the idea.)

"Don't go out of your way to make an effort for some people, sometimes it's just not worth it. Anyone that treats you differently when they're drunk than they normally would, or makes you their second or fall back option when their first doesn't work out isn't worth wasting your time. Now I'm not saying don't be friendly, or to disrespect these types of people, but don't feel like you have to go out of your way to try and make them see that you're a great person. If they took the time to get to know you, they'd realize that. Duh, of course I mean mostly girls, but there's jackass guys out there too that need friends to walk all over."

I doubt he remembers this convo, but can I reiterate how much I love my family?

I'm digging this song right now - definitely time for some out with the old, and in with the new with many different people in (or at least, they are some of the time) my life right now.
