Venting

When you bring someone close to you, you make yourself vulnerable. When you put trust in others, you make yourself vulnerable. When you love someone else, your very vulnerable. How do we avoid the pain that follows?

When you put faith, trust and space in those that you want your giving someone something way more precious than gold. People often take it for granted. You open your heart to others, and they assume they deserve it. What the hell is wrong with those people? You can't possibly assume that I'm supposed to trust, care, and want you just because you are you. Every time you put faith in someone they tend to dissapoint you. I'd rather put faith in family, and friends, and even sometimes they dissapoint you.

When I woke up this morning, I felt really good. As a matter of fact, if I felt any better it would've been a sin. There were things that puzzled me, but they were out of my control. More often than not, many things are out of my control. I try to worry about things that I can control, and everything else I let it play out as it will anyway.

Recently, I put my faith in places were I shouldn't have. I placed my eyes on something that was untouchable. I figured I could touch it, but it was impossible to touch. It was a illusion in the desert. I deserve it though. I always chase things that are illusions. After I realized that I couldn't touch it, I let it go. I would like to think life and the things you want is like a basketball. You bounce it, and it comes back, but I'm beginning to think that trouble is a basketball, and it always comes back to me.

I had distorted vision, and I paid for it in the end. I once had laser beam focus, and now all I have is memories of being focused. It's time to get back in line and not allow the things to hurt you hurt you anymore.

Take it from me, most people ain't about shit, and the ones that are you keep them close to you. The ones that really care for you will be there even when you are at your worst. The ones that really love will love you like a dog. They won't stray. The ones that care about you will care know matter what, and they won't leave you when your heart is calling.

Take it from me a person that has been on both sides of that fence.

The presence of that vulnerability is what makes the trust so strong. Family and friends alike may be a disappointment. Friends have stood by me when family have let me down, and vice versa. Trust is earned, however by being so concerned about vulnerability and disappointment, you then may become a disappointment to someone else. We’ve ALL been hurt before. Defeat it and bounce back.
