“Treat others the way you would want them to treat you” ..
That’s basically what I’ve led and lived by the good majority of my life.. But after 32 years of trying to always be the good guy.. trying to be considerate of others.. trying to be rational and make calm decisions.. trying to be respectful to others ESPECIALLY our seniors..
I’m done..
It takes a lot… and I mean a LOT to make me pretty much just give up on something, but I am beginning to realize that its just a lost cause.. It’s too much of a headache and too much stress trying to make everyone else around me happy, think about what OTHERS want.. would like, or to just be a all around good person and not being shown the same type of courtesy.. and that’s starting to include members of my own family..
I CONSIDER myself to be a good guy… a good father.. a good man to my woman, but I NEVER claim or HAVE claimed to be perfect. I make mistakes just like everyone else and of course I have my own viewpoints and opinions.. But honestly.. I’m sick of it..
Its going to be interesting I think to see how the people around me that’s always expecting me to be there for them, always counting on me at the LAST second even though they’ve known about things in advance and just thinking.. “Cool.. He’ll take care of that” are going to react when I simply start saying “No”.. I’m not going to apologize.. and say “I’m sorry I can’t do it” just a plain and simple “No” ..
Being a good man OR woman doesn’t mean that you let people pretty much walk all over you and you just suck it up and take it… Its about taking care of what YOU need to take care of and sometimes we tend to forget that we also need to take care of OURSELVES and that means physically, emotionally AND mentally… Be good to those that are good to you and until someone EARNS that certain level of respect..
Fuck’em..
So basically to wrap it all up… I’m just not gonna be the same happy go lucky guy like I have been in the past.. I’m gonna start treating people EXACTLY the way they treat me.. You don’t remember or can’t do something unless its important to you.. well guess what.. neither can I.. You can go out to get something or have your events and things and don’t or forget to think about the person that basically always ask do YOU need anything while I’m out, or do you wanna come? I forgot too..
*shrug* … The towel is thrown… I’m done.. ring the bell.. the fight is over…
