One of the most
disappointing things is when someone you care about time and again
just simply jumps back into the fire that they just got themselves
out of. It really makes you wonder about them and about their
emotional state of mind. Twice I have found myself put on the back
burner by friends all because they always go back to troublesome
people that they simply cannot live without.
I have to wonder
with all the positive energy and encouragement that they have given
to me, that do they ever take it themselves. Yes, it is disappointing
because you know what is coming…
It's either going to
be the end of your friendship or they will once again come to you for
comfort because they got burned again by that same troublesome
person. Quite frankly and sad to say, I am used to being treated in
such a way. Being treated as the safety net for when things fall
down. But with being treated in such a way, I have developed a
“Whatever, Do As You Want” attitude. I'll be around when the
chips go down, but I'll be looking to move on because like all safety
nets, they eventually wear out.
I cannot bring
myself to hate such a person, because no one is perfect, including
myself. But when someone constantly returns to trouble, putting
themselves back into the fire. There comes a time when you just
simply say…. “Well, it's their life. Nothing you can do, just go
on with your life”.
And it is in that
moment is where you open your heart to something better. And when it
comes, you embrace with your full being and leave behind the
disappointment.
So, when you find
yourself disappointed in someone or something. Just remember that
life goes on and there are always new things opening up for you.
