They say life is nothing
When I look back on some of the things I prayed for in the past, I feel lucky and grateful that they didn’t happen because now that I know better, some of the things I prayed for would have ruined my life. You see, it’s not that God didn’t answer your prayer, he answered it by not giving it to you. It was his way of telling you that this is not going to serve you and one day you will know exactly why.
I’m slowly learning that ignoring the red flags you see in the beginning is probably the worst thing you could do to yourself because they never turn green and they never change. I’m slowly learning that the old cliche that the red flags you see in the beginning become the reasons you leave later is not a cliche at all, it’s a fact. It’s a tried and tested method. I’m slowly learning that just because you want to keep someone around doesn’t mean you lie to yourself about what you’re seeing and what you know deep inside.
Many have an image of me, few get the picture 🎨
Today I passed by the restaurant where we first met and instead of cringing, I smiled when I remembered how sweet the beginning was. It’s always sweet in the beginning until the bitterness seeps in. Today I remembered our story and how I would always rewrite our ending because I didn’t want to accept that you and I won’t end up together.
I’ve realized that those who want to be in your life will make the effort, will communicate, will show up for you and you will know one way or another that they care. You won’t be doubting whether or not they care or if they appreciate you or if they truly want to be there for you. Many people say they care and they will always be there for you but when you truly need them, they won’t, they will disappear or come up with an excuse.
