Ginerbread Man

Run, run as fast as you can.
You can't catch me,
I'm the gingerbread man!

Oh this little rhyme fits my life all too well.  I run right into an issue and all I do is turn around and keep running, I run until I find a place to stop and start over.  I run and run until I find a place to catch my breath.  If you want to catch me, if you want to meet me where I'm at, its a lot of work because I will just run.  Truthfully, I hate this about myself and have decided to learn how to stick things out.  I have a dear friend showing me that confrontation is the only true way to resolve anything.  Confrontation is not always a bad thing, though uncomfortable, it leads to more freedom than trying to run.  I guess good confrontation skills are a pretty good way to measure maturity and growth.  Good relationships are built off of communication which includes much confrontation.
Confrontation has a bad connotation but in it's purist form is out of love and a desire to grow.  It is more than addressing someone else's issue, it addresses mutual issues (or simply, situations) and leads to a deeper connection with the person/people you confront.  The hard part is when it leads to separation.  This happens and it is something each person needs to realize is best.  That's the part I hate, that's the part that makes me want to run.  I'm just rambling about this topic right now because it's on my mind.  I suppose I'm learning while I type.

*Side note: This is a very candid post but I just want to clarify that I haven't run into anything crazy or a brick wall, this has just been on my mind lately. I want to grow out of my ways of the past.
