As with any human endeavor, this one has its share of frustrations, but I think my personal growth is greatest in learning how to deal with these frustrations in a more positive way. Mostly they stem from disappointments, which is why they can be so hard. You want to do something fun for a change, you want your friends to join you, but they decline. Why? What are people so afraid of? You ask a long-time friend to come and out play and they all but slam the door in your face. I don't get it. But you cannot dwell on it, because that makes you wonder whether you were ever actually their friend or not, and that is a dark path that leads to many negative thoughts.
So I choose to be sad for them and continue to hope that one day they will reach the stage that I have reached, where new things are not frightening but are exciting. See, I remember living that way, and looking back my biggest regret is that I didn't wake up sooner.
