"Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves." ~U. Thant I demand respect. Is that so hard to ask? I try my hardest to live with integrity and do exactly what I say I'm going to do. Is it wrong to ask that of other people? Is it wrong to expect people to be up front with me? In the words of Mr. Johnny Cash, "I walk the line." Do you? How could people straight up disrespect me? I'm tired of all of the games. I have dealt with these games for years. My life has changed so much within the past year, and through these changes, I have come to the conclusion that I WILL be respected. If you don't respect me, you won't be in my life, and yes, it really is that simple. Further, if you truly care about me, then you need to respect me all of the time, not just when it is convenient for you to do so. It's so funny how people try to lie to me and think that I am stupid enough to believe them. Sorry, but certain circumstances has set my bullshit meter to very sensitive. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I can tell you are lying because it doesn't make any sense. "Don't try to tell me it ain't what it is. I'm good I'm good at seein' the signs I'm good at readin' between the lines" ~Little Big Town If you say you're going to do something, then do it. If you are not going to do it, or think that there is even the most remote of possibilities that you won't, then don't tell me you are going to do it. Live with integrity people. I'm not putting up with any more broken promises. If you think this is about you, you are probably wrong. I'm tired of everyone thinking everything is all about them. In the wise words of Carly Simon: "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you?" It has been said (although not from a very credible source) that I have a gift for keeping things in until I explode. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. What I can say is that I am no longer bending over backwards to make the world happy, I'm going to make me happy, so deal with it. Well, I feel better. |
