Sooo I lost my ipod in the abyss known as my room. FML. In losing my ipod, I was forced to get on the train alone, with my thoughts. Once again, FML. There I sat, thinking, thinking, thinking. Then I thought about a quote I had read long ago: "If someone tells you who they are, believe them." Simple yet so utterly complex when put into practicum. Ingenius!
People..NO ...*scratching that* rather, I...like to see the good in ppl. The potential. Except not everyone is dowed with potential and not everyone is good. So it goes back to the proverbial "if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck....ITS A DUCK!" I remembered the above-mentioned quote and snobbishly thought "PFT..thats easy! why even make that a quote!" But yet when you really think about what Maya Angelou meant by that quote..you realize ..its not.
For the longest I wanted to believe that the prince charming found in my nightmares had the potential to be kind, insightful, and an overall decent guy. Thats what I potentially saw in him. I was so caught up in what i thought i saw IN him, that i didnt see HIM. I wasnt paying attention when his actions were TELLING me that he was an asshole, he was a liar, he was selfish, a cheater, a psuedo-intellect, a poser. His actions told me. I didn't believe.
..and so, lesson for today...If someone tells you who they are, believe them.
I get it....
He's an asshole.
I'm a believer.
Fondly,
Jay
