Because the truth is, it gets exhausting trying to always believe in the goodness of others. And sometimes I get worn out and too tired and I need to make things about me for a minute or I’ll go crazy.
That's something I read on another blog I follow, and I totally relate to it.
It feels petty sometimes, making things about you. Sometimes it's simple, sometimes it's disruptive and difficult.
I believe in the innate goodness of people because it helps me sleep at night believing that everyone has a good side. The sad reality of the situation is that it's nearly impossible to know if everyone is good, because sadly there are those people who choose not to act on it.
I shelve my needs for certain people because I believe that when I need it, they will do the same for me. Sometimes they come through for me. Other times they don't. It's a life lesson, but I would rather put myself on the line and be let down, knowing that at the end of the day I can and will take care of myself, than shut myself away from other people.
Trust is a beautiful thing, and I choose freely to trust in others.
I do not blindly swallow the lies, untruths and misconstrued events fed to me by some. There are more people than would like to think of themselves this way, but there you go.
I do not comment 99% of the time. I just sit and watch and listen, and I make up my own mind. I let them dig their grave.
It is worth bearing in mind that I watch and listen and think, so just because I haven't told *you* what's going on in my head doesn't mean there's nothing going on in my head.
Remember that.
