Growth or Evolution

Do we grow or evolve? Which is better? What/who determines your growth or evolution?

I think as human beings we grow and evolve. Evolution is much better though. Evolution implies that you already had something in you. When you evolve as a person what ever you had in you only gets better. Growth is not bad either though. Growth implies that you never had something and it had to be planted. The problem is do we grow into something that we like. I guess the same can be said for evolving. Growth changes you. Evolving keeps you the same but is an enhanced extension of yourself. So many factors determine growth and evolution. People, places and things have shaped my growth and evolution. I hope I am growing into a person that I can look at in the mirror but I also want to continue to evolve.

A Legend In Your Mind

Do you ever meet people or know someone that is " a legend in their own mind". These are people that think they are why the world goes around. These are people who place themselves on a pedestal that cannot be reached by mere mortals. These are people who are so high on their own shit that they do not realize they are idiots to anybody else with a brain. These are the people who brag and boast in such an unhealthy fashion that it makes you sick. These are the people that cannot tell you about an accomplishment of theirs without adding lies to embellish the story. These are people who present to an audience and do not pick up on nonverbal cues given off by the audience. Boy oh boy do I know a lot of legends. So to all the "legends " I challenge you guys to revisit your legendary status. Legends do not boast, lie or hold themselves ahead of mortals. Legends are people who are not only motivated by their own selfish agendas.
I'm a legend but a different kind at least not in my own mind!
There will be a part deuce to "legends".

Friendships

In life you meet few people who are true friends. I think the older you get the better you get at realizing who your true friends are. These are people you can not speak to for days or weeks but when you finally talk it's almost like you talk everyday. These are people who you feel completely comfortable and safe with. These are people who love you despite your personal faults. These are people who you can be pissed at you for a minute but get over it the next. These are people you can confide in and expect that conversation to be in total confidence. These are people who don't judge you because of poor decisions you have made but confront you when you are making those decisions. These are people who would have your back even when you are obviously wrong and behind closed doors say "you were foul". These are people who do not have questionable character. These are people that you are not afraid to let the world know that you are friends. These are people who are not jealous of you and your life accomplishments. These are people who support your life goals and accomplishments. These are the people we want to be in our life for the everything else. As I am typing this lots of good and poor examples of friendships are running through my mind. I have reached a point in my life that I am no longer willing to hold on to what I deem "toxic friendships". So, to all those toxic friends in my life I wish you all the best but in friendship compromising and settling are not viable options!
