You meet people everyday, some you may not like, some you may love having around. You also meet those that confuse you, because while you don't like them, you do. Do you understand what I am trying to say?

We go through our lives, thinking that the friends we have now, will be the ones we have forever. Maybe that will be the case, but I can tell you that half of the time it isn't. There's nothing wrong with hoping you'll be friends forever, but it takes two to tango and two to keep the relationships living.

If you are like me, you are attracted to all types of people. No matter their skin color, their body types, their personalities. You are willing to be friends with anyone who is willing to be friends with you. You are down-to-earth and caring. However, you may only be able to see the good in people, and force yourself to ignore the bad. While it's good to SEE the good, you also need to see the bad so that you can weed the toxic people from your life. Otherwise, you're just opening doors and allowing people in that may hurt you over a longterm period.

So; this is me saying good riddance to the people in my life that I have let continue to hurt me. I am no longer going to allow people to come into my life and do me wrong. I am just as human as anyone else is and I deserve respect, too.

No more asking you to stop, asking you to see the mistakes you are making. If you are not willing to open your eyes and realize it yourself, than what's the point in me continuing to try to force you to? I am not going to make you change, I just want you to see the error of your ways.

As people, we build things up in our minds. Machines and walls to help keep people from seeing who we truly are inside. We superglue our hearts together, never surrounding ourselves with the right people to help us fix them. We use intelligence to hide our ignorance. We hide our emotions and cry when the lights are turned off or when we are in the shower. We never give ourselves the credit we deserve because we are never REAL.

While reading this, you may push that to the side and say that you are being yourself, but are you? Or are you just trying to deny the truth? When are you just going to be yourself and let people love you for you instead of some fabricated personality?

Be yourself, because you were made in Gods image. You weren't meant to be someone else, you were meant to be you. If you want to be someone else, set goals and work towards them instead of forging a fake copy.

Say goodbye to toxicity and hello to reality.
