Titles Are Just That

Titles are so confusing. They're just rankings. "Best friend", "Favorite", "Friend", "Boyfriend", "Enemy". Then, when they change, what are you left with? It's doubtful the person has changed overnight from best friend to enemy. Well, I suppose it's all in how you look at it. Ha, no wonder so many people shy away from the commitment of marriage. I'm sure the titles of husband and wife are frightening to embark upon.*

Roles are weird too. Why do you have to change roles when stupid little titles change. You aren't changing as people. They're just words. Dumb and powerless, and yet all too powerful.

Thank God for family. They are always there, and I would venture to say that their titles rarely change. At least there is one stable force in everyone's crazy lives.

I'm glad my life thus far has been pretty simple. There have been a few times when I have questioned my life's stability, but for the most part, it's been okay.

*Side note: I just now realized that the proper spelling of embark involves a "k". Oddly, I always thought it was a "q". And I think I am a decent speller...clearly not.
