At what point do we stop those activities that we know we shouldn't be doing in the first place and stop interacting with those people who we know will leave us empty? The older you get the better you should be because you're maturing and realizing the consequences of your actions. There should be an automatic switch that goes off in your head that stops you from desiring Quantity over Quality. You can hop around to every happy hour, private party and tryst that falls into your lap but make sure you're participating for the right reason. I'm not saying don't get your party on and live life but when do you revise your list of priorities?
I think I just had an epiphany about Quality and not Quantity. Of course you know I'm mostly talking about men but I mean friends too. I've had numerous invites to parties, dinners, and drinks and I just reply "Oh thank you, I'm so flattered but I'm in another place right now" or "Thanks, I'll catch the next one". Now if I was 20 something maybe I'd be down for it all, but the more I spend time with those who appreciate my quality I want to be farther away from those who have no good intentions for me or themselves. At some point you've got to be good with yourself and mean it and not let outside influences determine your peace of mind.
Just my thought...
