In the relationships we have everyday we are confronted with compartmentalizing the different conficts we have into the big and the small. My question is at what point is that line that the small things turn into big things.
The saying goes, "don't sweat the small things." However, when does that small thing change into a big thing that needs to be addressed. How often do we take something that is a big deal and classify it as a small thing in order to not deal with it.
The hard thing is that when you are on the line between the big and the small their are arguments for both. As I said above, if you place something on the "big deal side" then you run the chance of blowing things out of proportion, or making something out of nothing! Yet if you decide it fits on the small side you have taken the chance of being blind,ignoring the obvious, not wanting to accept reality, and trying to avoid confrontation!
The joys of life! Decisions, decisions, decisions :)

Life is complicated. To me if something is really bothering you, it's not a small thing and it should be addressed. It doesn't have to meet any "criteria" of importance.
Hope whatever it is, works out.
