โpeople take advantage of how good and compassionate you are but you are strong and becoming wiser!โ
I donโt regret my kindness or my generosity. I may have been naive, but I was acting out of good intentions. As much as the other person was the bad one for taking advantage, I donโt believe anyone is innately evil. There are things I am sure I donโt know that influenced their behavior, mindset, perspective. This doesnโt mean that I should be the one to accept or try to change their ways. Thereโs no point in hating or regretting. I just need to learn and move on. But I can grieve for the person I thought I knew who no longer exists. So I grieve.ย
Believe me when I say I was traumatized. It has been the most traumatizing thing to have happened to me, to experience the 180 degree transformation of someoneโs kindness and warmth turn into coldness and hate with endless lies revealed.ย
Itโs also times like these when you realize who your true friends are and how much of a difference they make in your life. I grieve but I am also thankful.
