The Problem with Relationships

There is a problem with being involved in a close relationship. It's not the fear or loss, of rejection, of being someone you're not. It's the fear of being yourself. I speak only for myself of course.

Measure of Success

It was a beautiful spring morning in Atlanta. After a couple of hours of work I walked out for a smoke or as we ironically called it, "Fresh Air". The skies were a beautiful blue with scattered clouds strewn across. The air was cool, pleasant and still fragrant with the smells of a spring morning. To summarize, it was an exceptionally beautiful day and I wondered why it was that I had to trudge back to a desk and 2 monitors rather than go for a walk around the Lake which was only a few minutes drive away. That's when I decided, when I can choose what to do and when to do without fear of the consequences, I will be successful.
