All of my life, I have been described as someone who is loving, caring, giving, protective, and passionate. That I will never apologize for. But those characteristics can sometimes make us blind to the most abusive behavior before our very eyes. I need to learn to be careful who I let in without getting an understanding of them. For the last couple of months I have given all of myself just for it all to come down in a pile of rubble filed with nothing but my feelings. All I asked for was honestly and respect. Two very simple requests. No matter how well you treat someone, you can't teach them morals or make them do the right thing. As I have grown up, I have had blessings (people) come in and out of my life. I have appreciated each experience but tried to do the right thing. I have seen some friends do very reckless things, abuse the ones supporting them the most and each and every time they end up regretting it and want what they lost. But, that usually doesn't happen. All I can do is pray that God will keep them and protect them from what we all know will be a rough road ahead!!
