A surprise encounter with someone from your past could stir up a lot of difficult emotions today. You’ve got to organize these emotions if you want to get past them. Put things in perspective. Don’t let your feelings get the better of you. Remember, they’re just feelings. Even the bad ones (like jealousy, regret, anger) are natural. You can’t fight them. Make a list of each negative feeling as it comes over you, and before you know it you won’t be feeling them any more.

A moment of soul searching should do you a world of good. You haven’t been focusing on what matters most: family, friends, and even your love life. Give all your goals the attention they deserve.

Make sure that a relationship discussion doesn’t turn into a power play. After all, you both want to see things change for the better. Backbiting, petty bickering, and one-upmanship won’t help you get there.

You’re having to make the hard decisions. Times like these are called tight for a reason. You can’t make exceptions for your friends these days. You just don’t have enough wiggle room.
