Fool Me Once…
You know how the saying goes…”fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me”…well I’ve been fooled people…and the shame is definitely on me this time…no doubt about it. But…there is always a silver lining to every cloud, a lesson learned to every adversity, and a new day that will always follow. So…it is time to pick myself up by my boot straps and keep churning ahead. I have to make it a point to not make excuses for people…when they show me who they are I should believe them the first time. It took me about 10 times but again I take this as a life lesson.
It just AMAZES me that I can give people chance after chance and they still never seem to live up to the empty promises they so easily sell. It becomes a blatant disrespect of my intelligence and common sense when one feels as though they can so easily bamboozle me without accepting accountability. But, my course of ”trying to teach a lesson” or be Ms. Fix-It has officially run out on this situation and I am no longer in a mental state to deal with the never ending issues that continue to plague the relationship that exists here. I just can’t…I would be doing myself a disservice to allow the personal insult, offense and contemptuous behavior continue. Yet, I can say that I move on with a clear head, and that is what I am most grateful for. Not because I have decided to “wash my hands clean” of the situation, but more so because I can forgive for what has been done, and continue to move forward with a clear conscious.
