approval

We all have it. We all lack it.
Most of all, we all seek it.
Some people let the approval of one person define who they are. I've been one of those people at some time or another and it's definitely not much fun. It got to the stage where my interaction with that person was the sole variable that defined my mood - for the day, for the week.
I'm determined not to let that happen again so I'll be more laid back about everything. I'd say I'm doing pretty well because there's been some undesirable things occurring and I haven't really let them get to me yet. Yay for learning from past experiences.

She told the year advisor what was going on and I think its helped her on the path of dealing with it. On the plus side, she's a lot more cheerful now and seeing her in such pain was hard to deal with. On the downside, I feel kind of used and redundant now. It's probably just all in my head (time to take my own advice XD).

I know that if she could have any say in the big scheme of things, she wouldn't let anything unbecoming to happen to the people she cares about.
Rawr. Enough lollygagging - time to familiarise my self with the procedures for pass-out parade :L
