I am one of the most stubborn people you’ll ever meet. I speak on things with great passion and I’m very adamant about what I believe to be true. I get loud and sometimes overbearing when trying to make my point. I don’t mean to be this way; it has just become a part of who I am over the years. Being opinionated and strong willed isn’t something that everyone can handle. There are some people that don’t like when someone else’s views don’t coincide with their personal thoughts. I, on the other hand, don’t have a problem agreeing to disagree.
People claim to be "real" and "love realness", but the truth of the matter is, most people don’t want to hear the truth. They want someone to agree with their thoughts and build them up even if they’re wrong and their way of thinking is warped. Personally, I’m not that type of friend, if you ask me a question, I’ll give you my honest answer and feeling on the subject. I will try my best to be mindful of your feelings, but I wont pacify the truth, and I would expect the same in return.
Everyone wants people in their lives for different reasons…to make them look better, feel better and even do better. Personally, I have no problem building another person up, sharing the spotlight or even stepping aside and allowing others to shine. And in the midst I can genuinely be happy for others and their accomplishments. But everyone doesn’t possess this quality.
So often, good people get mixed up with people with bad intentions, and instead of the good rubbing off on the bad it’s usually the other way around. Bad seeds are easily planted and will manifest in your life with great force if you allow it. Don’t allow the ill intentions of others to be the motivating force that makes you change who you are.
So my question to you is… What kind of friend are You? And, What kind do you want? Be the friend that you want to attract, and stop dipping in the lives of people that you don’t care about. If your hateful, be amongst those who show hate. Don’t ruin a good person by pretending to be their friend….its like grass...St. Augustine grass never wins the battle when fighting with wild weeds.
I’ve lost some friends through my journey of life, just by being who I am, but knowing that my heart has always been pure and my intentions were always good is enough for me. I know that I’m a good person and no one will ever be able to make me think otherwise. Anyone that chooses to miss out on all this awesomeness is the one with the problem.
I’m Blessed on Purpose because I was Blessed to be a Blessing !
