Okay, I get it.
People make bad choices all the time. But when did it give those people the right to walk all over another person? When did it allow that person to ask someone else to overlook their faults but still be expected to put up with the bullshit?
The answer is easy. It doesn't.
Whether or not you love a person, like a person, or hate a person, they usually deserve some form of mutual respect. Why is this so hard for people to understand? I don't know. As a dear friend has said, "We're just too intuitive for most people." and maybe that’s true, but it still doesn't make it right. I am no more compassionate then any other person. Your all capable of compassion. Start. Doing. It. TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. That’s it. It’s that simple. Really. Would you want your significant other running around with other people? Answer that question appropriately and then follow through with the appropriate actions yourself. People need a fucking reality check. Subsequently after a long conversation with my dear friend I am starting to see how all people are entitled, or think they are. I can't believe some of the shit I see sometimes. People. The 'Golden Rule' just follow the rule and the world would be a much happier place.
Recently it has come to my attention that there are people in my life making really, really, bad decisions. You know who you are; and yes this is about you. Fix your shit and quit being so inconsiderate. There are people in your respective lives that love, care, cherish, and honor you. Do the same for them. Its not hard. Really. Its not. Since when did you become so irrational that you can’t see what you’re doing to your friends, family, and life? You are not being the person I grew up with. You’re being sneaky, underhanded, and discourteous. You’re seeking love in all the wrong places and ignoring those who do love you.
Now I should also mention: I don’t care what you do. BUT own up to your shit. While I also respect your private life I don’t think it gives you the right to lie about what you’re doing to ANYONE. Its your life. Flush it down the toilet if you want but don’t expect the rest of the world jump on the crazy train with you. Make the changes to your life you need to make but not at the expense of someone else. That’s not fair to them or you. This world does not need more drama. I don’t live in Payson anymore. I don’t want the highschool drama bullshit. No one does. So lets bring the crap to a minimum please?
Most of you who are reading this are old enough to know better. So lets do this shall we? Stop right now. Take a good long look at your own life and the things you have done to other people and ask: “Have I really treated __________ the way I want to be treated?” If the answer is no, get your ass on the phone call them. Talk about it. Take the first step and OWN UP. That’s all most people really want. Validation, they want validation of their feelings, thoughts, or ideas. Acknowledge what you’ve done, it doesn’t matter if its positive or negative.
While I am also not saying people don’t make mistakes. A mistake is ‘an error or blunder in action, opinion, or judgment’[freedictionary.com] this generally means a person goes back and realizes what they did wrong later. The people I am referring to are already aware of what they are doing and do it anyway with no regard to themselves or others. This is not a clean cut simple case for anyone. But you know who you are. Fix it. You don’t like your life right now? Change what you can change and work out the rest, but do it with love, caring, honor, and respect to all the other people who are involved.
I want to be the friend to everyone I know, that I always wanted for myself. I haven’t had a good family life and I envy those of you who do. I love the family I have and even the members of it that are family I have chosen for myself. I love all of you.
