What most people don't know is that I wear my heart on my sleeves. I'm a very loving person but when I feel unloved I can become very emotional. And that hurts because I give everyone a chance. It's just in me to be honest with people yet people nowadays don't want honesty. They prefer the lies and gossiping about one another over truth. This is part of the reason why I have trust issues. I don't trust those that smile in my face yet talk behind my back. I don't trust men that say they love me yet display hate towards me. Needless to say I don't trust too many. And I have heard that I am mean. But I say that I'm just being me. I don't sugarcoat things like most and I prefer to tell you what's on my mind as I expect the same from you. Sadly I don't get that respect from most. It hurts so much too. But I've learned to be strong and just pray for those individuals. I've had friends shut me out of their lives overnight and I'm left wondering why. But then God shows me that at that time in their lives they had something going on that he did not want me involved in. Or it did not involve me therefore I did not need to witness it. Either way I no longer cry about people walking out of my life because I know God was saving me from something. And I owe this new found thinking to Joel Osteen. I watched his Sunday morning sermon and it really hit close to home. He said "Don't focus on the problem but focus on the promises". Meaning don't complain about it, thank God for it. Don't say God you know I need you. Say God thank you for the strength that you have given me thus far. It really does make a difference. I feel like I can continue life because I believe again. Yes, I was broken down by a few loved ones but never again. I give my heart over to God. And I didn't write this to preach but just to let people know what was on my mind today. Just to give you a little insight into who I am. I'm a mother. I'm a wife. I'm a hard worker. I'm a friend. I'm a daughter. I'm a writer. I'm a free thinker. I'm me! I hope that you know who you are and if not that you can find yourself before it's too late. Accept you for you and not what or who others want you to be. Everyone has a purpose in life, have you figured yours out yet? It's not too late! Talk to God. Let him know that HE is number one in your life. Prioritize your life the way you say it should be. Anyone that does not agree is probably okay to let go of. Again not preaching but just writing what was on my mind. Love you all!
