Fed up
I am so sick of hearing excuses. There's always a "logical reason" for why people do or don't do certain things or act a particular way. "I have no money because I don't have a good job", "I can't love someone because I've been hurt in the past", "I'm a total bitch to everyone because nothing ever goes my way", "I'm lazy and love to do drugs because my father never showed me love". At some point you just have to GET OVER IT. You cannot let your past dictate your future. You don't have money because you don't manage it well. You can't love because you're dwelling on the past. You're a total bitch because you're self-centered and refuse to take blame. You're lazy and do drugs because you haven't developed coping skills. I'm just so tired of everyone copping out of responsibility for their actions. Of course, no one ever wants to admit they've done something wrong or handled a situation incorrectly, but sometimes you've just got to suck it up. I hate admitting I am ever in the wrong, but I'm learning to do so for the sake of my friendships, others around me, and my own sanity. What good does it do to wallow in self pity? Constantly acting as if you're always the one being wronged. It's your life, no one can change it or make it better for you.

Crazy! Craig and I were JUST having this discussion! There comes a point where YOU are the only one deciding how you end up. Otherwise we'd be saying that murderers and rapists can't be blamed for their actions because their fathers beat them or their mothers were never there. And a hard life shouldn't give you a free pass to screw up...it should make you better and stronger. Just my thoughts. Girls night soon?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm just so frustrated with hearing people whine & make excuses, yet do nothing to help themselves. I'm pretty over playing counselor for everyone! Yes, girls night asap!
