Some people...

I have learned something tonite: Sometimes people, even those in my life or in the lives of those I love, are not worth my time and energy. This is a sad lesson for me, simply because I believe everyone deserves a chance (and prolly more than one). This person baffles me. I have tried very hard to be as friendly and open as possible and yet I continue to get slapped down. He once invoked fear in me, now it is just anger. I hate being stepped on and watching those around me that I care about being trampled. I will not take it laying down anymore.

Having said that, I know that this person is important to someone that I charish, thus I will continue to be pleasent and respectful. I am still open to friendship if they are willing to take a step forward themselves, but I will no longer be stepped on nor watch it happen to those around me. I am feeling more and more like myself lately, and that means that I am me, both for good and bad.
