Masks

These days , being good is a mistake , because people take that goodness of you and use it against you , they take benefits from your good heart, your sincerity and honesty and use you for themselves . I’ve learned a lot of lessons from life as I lived , but this was one of the most important lessons so far : People wear masks  , almost all the time , and that mask fall down when midnight comes , like in Cinderella , it means when the dark times come . they were masks as if life is a ball , they change the mask when they go to another ball and to fit with their outfit . that’s why we must not be fooled by faces , because most of the time they are masks hiding god knows what ! maybe a pretty face or an ugly face or even no face .

I’m disappointed by people , I feel fooled and stupid . but I won’t let those pity , miserable  persons destroy me , No … In fact , this has opened my eyes, allowed me to see wide  and clear , and to take my precautions , because we never know who we will meet .

I believe that I’m growing , I’ve seen a lot of things and yet it’s nothing comparing to what there is and to what’s coming .

Maybe one day I’ll know enough to give a piece of advice to the younger ones , but by that time, I know I will suffer as much as I will learn , maybe more . I will shed tears for every lesson and morality , because we learn when we get hurt , when we get betrayed , when we get stabbed in the back … I admit it , sometimes I wish I get hurt to know how it feels , but when It happens , I just say “ why is it so painful ? does it take courage to learn how to cry ? “ 

I’ve  always said  “ never regret a relationship , some of them last forever , and some of them are lessons “ . It’s easy to say it , I know , but if it’s the second case then we DO regret that relationship and we wish we have never met some people , but what can we do about it ? it’s done and over , and we came out with something in the end .

 

I believe that People are like books ( even though books are way too better ) .In every one of them there’s a mystery that It can only be revealed by getting to the end , and when we do , either we finish the book and close it and go to another one, or we want to re-read  it again. I believe people are just like that … I mean , we can only know what certain person truly hide by getting to the end of our relationship with them . If that hidden thing is ugly , too ugly that it had been better if it stayed hidden , then we close the book and never re-read it again , we put an end to the relationship . But If we realize that this person is a living Emerald on earth , than we keep re-reading the book over and over , we never put an end to it .

 

In times like this , I’m so thankful that I still have amazing friends , a best friend , who can understand me , who are always there by my side  and who I know will never let me down . Really … I’m so thankful to have this treasure .

 

Until now , I haven’t made a decision yet , I’m waiting … waiting for time to show me the right thing to do , waiting for a voice to lead me , because some things are better to be solved alone without interfering , for we are way too wise less to take such a big decision .

We must always guard the virtue of light. We can never let the wickedness invade the light. Patience is a virtue and love is its own reward. Kindness is its crown, mercy is its footstool and its hands are joyful labor. Love is hard work, responsibility, accountability and sacrifice but the greatest measure is always sacrifice. One who loves must give. They sacrifice their time, energy, work, money and by extension, their lives, for those they love. But love is always in the giving and never in the taking because love is a gift and never a bargain or a trade. It must be freely given and freely received or else our love becomes shackles and ever shortening chains of restraint. But we do not "do good" for recognition. We do good because it is what we "should" do. "The sun needs no inscription to distinguish him from darkness." Thomas Paine

Omg ! throw back to the younger me. I had to read what I wrote first before reading your comment about it, It feels so weird to read our way of thinking of before. It felt childish and I wanted to answer myself on every thought I wrote back then as I was reading it, advise her...
But then came your comment, it answered all. I think I appreciate these words more now than if I read them years ago. Thank you for words.

True words of someone who have lived through it and seen and felt it all, I can say that you and me are sailing the same boat here... but Negativity should always be erased, these negative masks should be erased and see the true faces that are fit to walk among us.

[Black Jess]

true ! you understand what it feels like. Now I'm over it, I learned something about someone, and my good opinion once lost is lost forever (Mr Darcy xD ) ! I'm still kind with them, cause i'm like that, but I'm not like before, I'm cautious and aware and I won't go far with that relationship.

[Joey Nizz]

you remind me of myself with a similar situaton that happened to me more than once x)
but we should never let it get to us, so what let us be kind to them and one day they will see how much of an a*****e they were to us when we aided them.

[Black Jess]

hehe x)
we can't regret kindness !

[Joey Nizz]

Nope no one can unless if it was excessive xD but i wouldnt mind that either x)

This one has depth ... I was able to relate to every word. I too have had people take advantage of my kindness, and I've also taken advantage of other people's kindness. I've also struggled with learning from my mistakes. I know we need both joy and pain to grow, but of course, pain is pain, and I don't like having to endure regret. This gave me a lot to think about and I'll be reflecting on it throughout this week. Thank you for sharing it.

I'm glad this affected you and made you think about it ^^ Thank you .

These are wise words on life. There are circumstances that we can just dwell in, wallowing in the despairs of betrayal and heart break. However, we should accept the misfortunes and learn from them. We become better people when we learn from other's and our own mistakes. Great job!
