Circles Of Life

On Friday night Topher, Chris, Victor, and I stayed up until 6:30 in the morning playing video games, the next morning I went to the football game with Amy, Loren, Jenna, Josh, David, Joannah, Alex, Sommo, Zach, Rob, Caiti, and Tyler. While at the game I saw one of my friends from back home Mark High and we got to talk about the old times and people that I grew up with. Why am I telling you all of this? So one of things I have realized about life is that you are going to have different parts of your life that you share with different people (there is some overlap) and that you need to balance these parts.

Yes another google picture it just happened to be appropriate ;)

I call these different parts circles, some of them are circles within circles ie. HomeGroup is within Grace, these circles require time to maintain which is why over time some shrink and disappear. Throughout my day I am constantly having to choose between circles, do I watch a movie with this group? Do I hang out with this group? I am not perfect at all but I do try my best to spend a equal amount of time in each group.

This is really hard for me because most people don't see this they only see that I am ditching them for someone else. I want to do so much but I only have a set amount of time, as such at different times different circles take priority of others.

As a person I hate it when people are mad at me or disgruntled with me. This makes life really difficult because I am always being pulled in many different directions and having to say no to things constantly. This creates tension and sometimes hurts feelings, I hate it when I have to do that but I can't be in multiple places at one time.

Basically what I am trying to say is I would love to be able to spend as much time with everyone as possible but please understand that I can't. I have different responsibilities as a HG trainer, student, Friend, and family member. I have to balance all of these, so as I try to do this I ask that you be patient with me. I am not perfect nor am I anywhere close.
