Stop Setting yourself on fire to keep someone else warm

Stop setting yourself on fire to keep someone else warm

In life, there are people who believe that telling a white lie is ok and others who believe in telling the whole truth even when it hurts. The reality is telling half the truth is still telling a whole lie.


Most people justify the reasons behind their actions just to make themselves feel better not because it is based on the truth. Every action is always a reaction. No matter how justified we feel our actions is does not make our actions right. I often wonder most of my life why people treat others the way they do. Betrayal from people you trust the most is the worst. Maybe I am naïve but when I love , I love wholeheartedly and I trust that it works both ways.


Unfortunately when people in your life include you only in areas that works for them and exclude you time and time again, you start to wonder. The worst kind of damage is done when it is on purpose. And it is always best to be honest from the beginning because the truth always comes out.


Family relations is a complicated thing, most of the time an enigma. Sometimes the ones that call you family, exclude you and worst betray your confidence. However they justify the reasoning behind their actions does not make their actions right. To me when you call someone family, it means you include them in your life by including them in your plans and decision making as a unit and not omit anything.


Because when the truth is revealed the damage is done the trust broken, so is the relationship.

I am not someone who likes to rock the boat but when issues arises, I will speak my mind and address the issues head on and move forward . Like most things, actions are left to be interpreted and for most people , conflict is not a place of comfort and so when in conflict the party that Is calling it out is assumed aggressive.


Unfortunately in life you just have to accept that people will not give you their all, treat you equally or view you the same even when you are called family but the most important thing is stay yourself, see your value and know who are the ones that should be in your life and those that you will love from a distance.
