What is balance?

Most strive for it their entire lives, others seem to attain it with the snap of a finger.

My entire life I've either swung too far this way or that, neglecting things and people that mattered to me. And it's taken quite a while to achieve the "right" kind of balance but I think I've done it. For now.

Have you seen a lack of balance cripple a friend? Cripple him to the point where he only seeks you out if in need of something? Yes, we've all been guilty of that. I know I have.

But the difference is...after a period of time, I went about making up for the mistakes I made and tried to repair bridges as best as I could.

Which, to say the least, irks the hell out of me in regards to his behaviour. It was never really like that, which further exacerbates the situation and frustration.

If only we could all go back in time and just change that one defining moment that led to this. But it's ironic when you realise that the major part of that one moment was actually down to you.
