It's pretty funny how every single time the inevitable happens it always seems like a slap in the face, a shock, a surprise. I know it shouldn't. I've been dealing with this for most of my life. Isn't it funny how we still try to see the best in people when the truth about them has been shoved in our face and proven time after time over the course of 25 years? Why? Why do we put ourselves through it? Why do we put ourselves back on the line again time after time of seeing the truth? Why do we continue to give them the same opportunities to hurt us? These are questions that really only we can answer. What is my answer? That is a tough question. I guess I just keep praying and hoping to see better days, that people will change. I keep faith that maybe everything I was told, no matter how many times it was proven, wasn't true. I keep hoping for change. I hope and I pray for all these things because I like to see the good in people and believe that they can change for the better. However, the truth is; people only change if they want to change. Some people are good at putting on a darn good act to trick you into thinking they have changed. Sometimes they can get that act to last for a long time. However, in time the true colors come back out. It sucks, but it's reality. There isn't anything you can do about it. It's inevitable. Unless or until they actually truly change, they will never play a positive part in your life on a permanent basis. These are the facts, in black and white. There comes a time when you finally have to just let go. You have to live your life for the better without allowing them the opportunity to continuously drag you down.
