Choices and decisions…

Good news each of us as adults gets to make them for ourselves. However do we face the reality of each one of those clearly? More than likely not all of them. The best we can do is try. That would be to not kid ourselves or denying a reality based around them.

Accept what truly is and move forward from there. Truth and honesty within ourselves is the best we can do. And giving that same honesty to those we know is respect in its own right. We each hope to receive that in some way.

For the folks we have put forth time and energy with. Those we call friends or even acquaintances we think or hope we can receive that respect. Denial of reality is something we each do. Putting something on the back burner for later. Turning away the tough decisions for a later date. Moving along on the path of comfort and ease. We justify it in so many ways. But do we truly see what we are doing?

It all lies within us to know that Truth, no one else has that key. We each in our own way may think we are in tune with others, but the only true fact is within yourself.

I think what is disappointing is when one runs upon something they felt deep inside would happen, but was truly hoping it wouldn’t. Our own reality and Truth already told us the answers but our not wanting to accept that fact led us to hope past that. Hence disappointment occurred. Not usually something one wants to feel, but it happens. One can only try and accept it for what it was and move forward.

However, the hard part is when that reality and acceptance of what happened is clear to oneself and not another. A sense of further denial is felt and sadly respect is lost. Do I expect too much? Perhaps, but certain pieces in relationships are important to me. I can truly accept most things but the lack of respect is not one of them. Everyone deserves it and it is up to each of us to offer it to another. Be very careful with it. It can be lost and sometimes regaining that trust can take twice as long or never to be found again.
