I am a firm believer in second chances.
I mean, everyone deserves one, we are only human and we make mistakes. In a perfect world, the people we give second chances to learn from their mistakes so they don't make them again but more likely than not they won't... But we can hope. I've given many people second chances in my life, and some third and even fourth chances which they have continued to blow. There comes a point where you have to say enough is enough and move on and to leave them in the past.
Due to the ones who took advantage of me, I stopped giving second chance, once someone messed up, they were done. I was done. Tired of being hurt and let down again and again. Then, I got to thinking… They are only human, we’re only human. They messed up, and they are capable of doing better. They deserve a second chance. We all do.
So, I made a change. I'm starting to give people a second chance. A second chance to prove themselves and to prove to me that people can change. Yes, I do have my reservations about this and I am nervous and scared I'm going to be hurt again, but I will continue to have faith and try and see the good in each and every person. Though it might be hard to find, there is truly good in everyone.
I will continue to give second chances and to believe in the good of mankind, but the difference is now that i know when to say enough is enough, i know when to stop giving chances. I will not be taken advantage of again because i am stronger than i was before and i now know when enough is enough.
