As I get older, I realized that I am probably nicer than most people. I have always treated other with love and kindness and have always had the mindset of "Treat others the way that you want to be treated" that is just the way I was raised and who I am. It is in my nature.

I have also learned that people do not have the same heart that I do, which is unfortunate.

People live to only please themselves and to make themselves happy at any cost, even if that means hurting others.

In Pre-K we all learn that "sharing is caring" and to use kind words "if you do not have anything nice to say, do not say anything at all." Well apparently, we did not all learn that lesson.

The more that I give to others, the more they take from me, without giving anything in return. Whether it be my time, energy, money, or gifts, they do not have a problem with taking anything I have to offer.

The sad thing is, they do not want to treat others the way that they want to be treated, and this is a lot of people these days.

Everyone only cares about themselves and likes to do what is going to benefit them the most. They do not care about others.

Let me ask you this. Would you like to be ghosted by the person you have a lot of feelings for? Would you like to be broken up with over text, without any explanation? And once you work up the courage to ask for one you do not get it? I'll answer that for you. NO.

Nobody wants to get dumped especially over text, in my opinion, that is probably the worst way to break up with somebody.

Would you want someone to treat you that way?

Whatever happened to being adults and having a conversation, even though it may be a difficult conversation to have, it's the right thing to do.

Treating others well is something that we even learn in Sunday school.

Matthew 7:12 says "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." Philippians 2:3 says "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves," These are only a few examples of the things that we learn as children, but some people do not choose to live by those words.

The ugly truth is that there are selfish and cruel people in this world. There is no escaping the hurt that others will do to you, but let it strengthen you and learn from it. But no matter what, do not stop treating others with kindness.
