Sticks And Stones May Break Bones...But Words Really Do Hurt Me

I'm sensitive. I'm emotional. I take things personal. I'm defensive. All of these characteristics about myself I hate but can't help. People are so quick to pass judgement (myself included) and at times its something that i can't handle. The worst for me is when someone i know has something to say about me or says hurtful things to me. Yea words are just words but when you confide in someone you don't expect it to come back to you in a way where it would hurt or damage your feelings. I have witnessed friends talking about friends, doing things that make you think "with friends like these who needs enemies". I myself have been a victim of someone taking the most touching subjects of my life and deliberately bring them up to hurt me. At that point you have to ask yourself is it worth it to stoop down to their level and say something just as mean and hurtful maybe even turning it up a notch or should you just ignore and let them look like a heartless asshole for even bringing themselves to act that way. I am learning to form a tough skin but there are times when things can be so overwhelming and one person can say the wrong thing and everything just tumble down and you break. I haven't reached my breaking point yet and i hope to never reach there. But i would like for people to bare in mind: be careful what you say, be careful how you act towards another because you never know what single statement or mean act can push that person to do. Too many times have we witnessed people on the news being out casted or treated wrongly snap and either harm themselves or harm others. So lets start helping to bring eachother up and stop breaking people down. There's so much progress that can be made if we all try and work together to make them happen.

Getting Over It!

We have all experienced breakups. Whether good ones or bad ones, we have all been through the emotional turmoil that comes with ending a relationship. I haven't been one to be in many relationships. I've gotten my heart broken ONCE! I guess karma finally caught up to me cause back in the day i was the one breaking hearts...or playing with them for that matter. People ask me all the time how did i get over my ex, and i have to ask myself "am i truly over him or is it just a facade?" Honestly i do think that I'm over him BUT its difficult to get over someone when they've moved on with life and your alone and at most times not happy. Not to say i need another MAN to make me happy BUT if i was in a relationship i would be so caught up in love and romance... who would have time to think about an old flame? I do not have a significant other to help me to get over him but for the most part i can honestly say I am not in love with my ex anymore and if i were ever offered another chance with him i wouldn't take it. If you want to get over someone it takes time and you really have to dig down deep inside yourself. You have to find love and happiness within you. A major part in me moving forward and not standing still drowning myself in sorrow, is the love and support of my friends and family. Encouragement and kind words are always a big help when you're down. Also having fun and keeping busy. Overtime you will reflect on the relationship and find that him/her wasn't really right for you after all. Whatever you been through with that person just know bad things=bad karma, you don't have to bust windows out of any one's car/home or attack his/hers new partner, it'll all come back in a way where you wont have to lay a finger let alone speak. I know one day i will come across a lovely gentleman that will rock my world but until then i won't be sitting around waiting. You can catch me mingling with the single life... :-*
