Inevitable?

how do we ever stop taking each other for granted?

it's the universal truth that once a person becomes accustomed to something or someone, whether it is due to excess exposure or the passing of time, that something or someone will eventually begin to lose their luster. there's really no preventing it, and it can be pretty sad. but is it ever anyone's fault?

that's the thing... i don't think anyone's ever to blame. i don't think we ever intentionally start to take people for granted, at least not the ones we truly care about. sure, we can all make more of an effort to count our blessings each day and stay grateful, but the values we hold in others drop as naturally as rainfall in April.

perhaps we should stop holding this against them.
you either walk away from it all, or you stay and accept it.

i totally agree.
ive been on both sides of the fence....
feeling like im taken for granted and being told im taking some one for granted....

i think life just gets the best of you and some times we loose track of priorites...
sometimes we depend on those closest to us to understand that we're running around like chickens with our heads chopped off and we expect them to either help or be their waiting when we've slowed down...

its a life, everyones going to go through it.

its just a total burn when it happens lol.
