Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls

I'm one of those people who get my feelings hurt, get mad, or annoyed and then 5 minutes later I'm like okay I'm over it lets be cool again. This quality or lack of has caused me to give others chance after chance. I love being a people's person and I love the vibes and energy I get when I'm around others. I have been down a very long road of being naive thinking people loved me and they had motives with bad intentions. My nurturing quality attracts people who are in need of something and when they're fulfilled they move on, but I still love and want their attention. Finally I realized most of the relationships I had to chase were one-sided. I chased them because I missed all the good memories and totally ignored the red flags. I'm not perfect and I believe in second chances so I give them. This last second chance I gave, I feel like I literally handed the person the knife to stab me in the back with.

Growing up I never had anyone love me for me, that skinny, weird, awkward me so I first hand know that supportive genuine relationships from your loved ones can take you a long way and help develop the person who you're meant to be. That void of love caused me to love anyone I could get. Wanting a loving partner, family and friends wasn't too much to ask for was it? But somehow I couldn't ever get it right. Something always happens to push people away and I move on with my life for a while and then in due time I reach out or they reach out to me.

So many people are secretly fighting their own battles and they take things out on everyone they're around and sometimes our response can be just as toxic because of things we're going through ourselves. Later in life those people change and they become the blessing you always needed and others never change and will continue to ruin your life as long as you let them. If you're battling with allowing someone back into your life, ask yourself can I truly trust this person again? and if so what proof do I have to support it without making excuses for them?

The moral of the story is some people who have entered your life are to teach you a lesson and some are a blessing, so don't go chasing the lesson it's definitely a waterfall. You can't continue to closely love someone if it threatens your well being, so choose the company you keep wisely. Stay focused on your goals in life, keep your promises, and always do the right thing because what you put out, you will get back.
