You admire a friend's freewheeling lifestyle. If you look closely, you'll notice cracks in this facade. Although your loved one claims to be having a wonderful time, they're very lonely. Before abandoning your responsibilities to follow their lead, think of what you'll be losing. Being accountable to someone means you are cherished and valued. While you may not be able to set your own schedule, there are benefits to having close relationships. Stop treating your blessings like burdens.
