“It’s funny how sometimes the people you’d take a bullet for are the ones behind the trigger.”

Let this sink in for a moment. Because this is legit the honest thing that happens all the time. It has a way of slipping pass the ones that we love the most.

Everybody has that one person that they want to protect. That one person that you would do anything for. The best way to describe it, is the love that you have for that person.

It all goes downhill when you ask for help, and they won’t help you. It’s like you don’t even exist to them anymore. They funny thing is that when they ask for help again and you don’t provide it, you’re the one that is the bad guy.

When this happens do you question your existence? Or do you start to question your presence in any relationship? This isn’t healthy! This feeling will impact your whole self-esteem. Make you wonder about things that you shouldn’t have to worry about when it comes to friends or loved ones.

Yes, it does hurt when the ones you love hurt you, but it also tells you something else. See I firmly believe that everybody comes into our lives to either be a lesson or blessing. Sometimes it’s often both, depending on how you look at it.

True, at first, you’re going to feel upset, angry, but once you calm down and think it through, you will realize the true meaning of what their attentions are.

Be true to who you are, not as to what other people want you to be. Don’t be the target that everyone wants to hit. I guarantee that once you put that bullet proof vest on. People won’t target you so easily. You then will see who respects or values you the most.

The only thing to do is let the unrespectful go. Let them go and move on. If you pray, say a prayer for them and be on your way.

Take care my friends and stay humble and alert.
