when people let you down

Hey all

We are all only human, which means we get hurt, and we hurt others. People will let you down always, that’s just life. It’s hard to take though, when those closest to you, let you down in a big way. You feel so betrayed and so disappointed, and yes, I guess you do wonder who your real friends are. As I sat and read a comment someone made to my previous post, I started thinking, how many real friends to I actually have? She being one of them…I can think of very few others. How sad is that? I can’t even think of ten people outside of my family who I truly trust. Is that bad?

I’ve made the mistake of trusting people too quickly, and I’m reaping the consequences of that as we speak. God gave us free will to make these mistakes that we might learn from them. Well I’ve learned. Someone was said to me, that I am very guarded. In many ways I am. I’ve learned to be. I open up to people too quickly and end up getting hurt. So yes, I do put up a guard, I have to. When my guard is down, I am way too vulnerable.

There are not a lot of people who actually know that this blog exists and those who do know, I told because I trust them. I don’t think they will judge me or kick when I’m down, like someone did last night, cheers for that. In fact, this will just allow them to get to know me a little better, that’s all.

Thousands of people walk in and out of our lives all the time…in fact some of you reading this, may walk out of my life at some point, maybe even for good. This time next year, I may never see you again. Only time will tell.

If any of you all disagree with anything I’ve said, or if I have offended you, drop me a line (girlinthe_singlelane@hotmail.co.uk) or add a comment (I’ve removed all restrictions meaning you don’t have to have a blog to add a comment). I’m interested you know what you all think.

peace
