In my life

There are two ways to solving most problems. And I have only tried one all my life. Taking the easy way. Apologising, hiding, lying, changing my opinion. Anything goes as long as I do not have to take the hard way. As far as I have seen, the hard way is too painful, it's very depressing and I cannot afford to be depressed.
But, not so surprisingly, it is catching up with me... this second way I have been running away from.
The facing people who put me down, regularly. The shouting back when I am insulted, the picking up the phone and dialling a number, and mostly, NOT picking up the phone.
I am not a very organised person and I am not very sure if I am tackling my problems correctly, but what I do know is that things are changing in my life and now, I know milestones on both roads.
