Living and Learning....

You know I consider myself to be a strong person, but after a series of events in the past couple of months, I really got myself wondering and re-evaluating, lots of things in my life. Since little I always "carried the weight of the world" on my back, I always felt it was my responsibility to always help and understand people, it doesn't matter what. Always trying to understand why people do things the way they do and react the way they do, at times I really believe I even make excuses for people's behavior... but when it comes to myself and my actions, I'm always tough and critical! I come to realization that I'm human like anybody else, and sometimes enough is enough. I don't understand in parts why people in general wear so many facades. I know most times it's an insecurity thing, walls, protection, whatever. Sometimes the facades are the very reason of lots of problems in people's lives. Wouldn't it be easier just to be? Wouldn't it cause less confusion, unnecessary pain and deception? Maybe I'm too straight forward and blunt, and that might blind my ability to see or be any other way... I'm just tired of the masks and the false "personas". Honestly if someone is not to appreciate a person for what they are then why waste time with hatefull, childish actions. People should just stop wasting time trying to be what they are not in order to impress other people! And if you don't think someone is worth your time, then maybe you should not waste it on that specific person! Bottom line is through the deceptions life teaches you, all you can do is pick up the pieces and go on.
