So I smile.

We all have to deal with difficult people. It's easy when you don't care about them. All you need to do is pray for them and realize how they act towards you has nothing to do with you, but everything to do with them. I feel better already!

But what if this difficult person is someone you care deeply about? What then? Again, pray and realize that it's their insecurities that make them act in such a way. It's easier said then done to detach, but I know it is much less painful then to be immeshed with someone.

 Independent to a fault? Probably.

But all I know is that we are all humans and we are all struggling with something. 

Remember the golden rule.
