Curb your enthusiasm

"No friends, No enemies", my Dad used to say. And I'd scoff at how he could be so un-trusting sometimes ...

Now, I must admit, being too friendly and chatty with people has its downsides, especially when they're people who are going to be in your life forever. I dont mean the people you choose- close friends, life-partner, co-workers to hang out with ... most are expendable. (Well, maybe except life-partner) But I mean, the people you "inherit"- life-partner's closest friends, closest friend's life partners and.... *drum roll*.... the in-laws.

Heres the conundrum- would you rather be labelled as a person who "doesnt talk to me much" or the "i cant believe she said that" ? I'm sure both have their pros and cons like everything and everyone in this world but I sure know which one is easier for me. :-D

Not that I only take the easier paths in life. (I married out of caste, age, state and culture didnt I?) If I ever have kids in my life, I think I'll encourage them to marry someone from another country (or maybe it'll be planet by then!) Err Sis, I wont encourage DD, I promise!

Getting back to the topic at hand, hubby is pleased with my take on things. Cant ask for more I guess. I think I opt for the less-stressful paths if they dont matter in the bigger scheme of things.

I would never have thought I'd be this easy-going... but then again life throws surprises at ya. If its dark chocolate, taste it; you never know ... you actually might end up loving it! (And if its good for you, its a plus!)
