I’ve never considered myself a gullible person or really took much notice to people who are, but I have found lately that some people are so gullible they let it destroy their lives. Maybe not their physical life, but the part of them that enjoys being alive, the part of them that should be completely happy and have no doubt in their relationship with another human. How could a person live without that… willingly? I could never allow myself to live in depression, fighting, and no trust. I couldn’t live with someone who didn’t value me so much they couldn’t live without me. All of the best material things in the world couldn’t make me stay in an unhappy life.
I’m better than that. Everyone is better than that.
Why do people sometimes feel they are not entitled to a life of no complaints? As if that’s too much to ask for, like struggling for years to just get along will make everything wonderful down the line. Better yet, why do people think having complete honesty in a relationship is bad? Lies just sour things.
And don’t make excuses! A jerk is a jerk. Just because you allow yourself to live with it doesn’t mean I will.
I’m better than that. So are you.
