Some serious thoughts
Over the past few days, several people.. including myself have been sort of arm twisted into re-evaluating themselves, events that have happened, and relationships with people in their lives. It’s never a good time in your life, when you step back, take a look and realize that “Hey, this.. this.. and this.. are actually something that is quite destructive to me”. It’s never easy to know that you should take the means of removing such things from your life so that you can move on and grow as a person. The question of is this good for the long run, always hovers in the back of your mind, as you start picking up the pieces and setting them aside on the curb.
I like to give people.. a LOT of chances.. Maybe I’m a sucker for self inflicted torture and stress levels.. who knows honestly, but everyone gets probably 3 chances too many with me.. I also like to think the best of someone till they prove otherwise that they shouldn’t be liked or respected in the light and opportunity I have given them in my mind. Everyone has a clean slate, shining gold star on their forehead, and no checkmarks next to the box that says “does not play well with others”. When people start to show their true personalities once you get past that warm fuzzy stage of yah, new friend, you can either accept the oddities that make one who they are, or decide that “meh, this person is not for me”. I’m quite forgiving of a lot of things in people, mostly because if I wasn’t… I’d be calling the kettle black. I’m an odd duck at most times, and it takes a tolerant person to get along with me.
