So, I read this today…

“You want trust?
Then be someone that can be trusted.
You want love?
Then be someone loving.
You want to be understood?
Then pay attention and listen to others.”

The person that posted this seemed to come from a place
of aggression. As if to be telling someone off.
And i just thought to myself… This is one persons point of view.
If this is how you feel, and this is how you live your life, big ups to you
more power to you, keep doing you, because there aren’t many people like you
in this world anymore…
But speaking as an apposing party, someone you’d tell this to;
Its not that easy, and unfortunately, that’s not how most people nor the world thinks.
I’ve been in the position, where I’ve given and shown an abundance of trust.
Still to have none of my own, not of my own fault, but simply because that other person
was doing things they knew they shouldn’t have been doing and therefore couldn’t trust me
because they couldn’t trust themselves.
I’ve been in the position where I’ve been someone loving. In fact, I love hard,
I’m a hopeless romantic, and loving others and showing them is one thing I’m good at,
its one of my best qualities, and my worse, I would say because I usually get fckd in the end.
I’ve been in the position where I’ve wanted to be understood, and I was led to believe that
we were on the same page on an equal understanding w/ each other, only to get screwed in the end there
as well.

So life doesn’t always work an eye for an eye. As they say,

Nice guys finish last.

That’s the story of my life. I love too hard, I feel too much, I fall too hard. But yet, I keep getting back up
And I keep doing it all over again in faith. Only to be left broken and hopeless each time. Food for thought.
