What do you care about?

When I worked at high school and someone would be giving me a prolonged "I don't care" treatment, I would get closer to them and ask "What DO you care about?" The students were often surprised by the question and didn't know what to say. I really wanted to know though.

What is important in your life now? What's worth fighting for? What's bothering you? WHAT MATTERS?

Me? There are a lot of things on my mind.

The biggest one would be my recent fallout with the closest person I had besides my husband. It wasn't anything dramatic, just a gradual process that lead to us being very much apart. I blame weed, but who knows what really brought us to this point. It sucks and it hurts when I think about it, but I try to put it aside.

I've also been unfair to some people in my life. That's a shame and I really should change it. Sometimes it seems as though when you have a problem with one relationship, it spills over onto others. Like with juggling several balls. You mess up with one - and they all fall.

Other than that, there's a lot of stress with starting my job hunt again, going through a ton of bureaucracy as my husband and I prepare to visit Eastern Europe, and taking care of all the loose ties that still haunt us from when we had our business.

And life goes on.

I wonder what you currently care about...Apparently you cared to read this.
