You never know exactly how the day is going to turn out, nor the week, the month, the year, the decade.
This morning, I found myself looking up my ex’s profile on a hookup app and it was a strange sensation – marked in fact by the absence of any strong feeling.
The benefit of time and distance is you can see things more clearly. Profiles lie because people lie in them. They put out an image of how they want to be seen rather than the truth.
Interestingly, the tagline in the profile (before he hit the block button) was “you don’t have to be perfect, just perfect for me.” – translation, agree with everything I say and do whatever I want you to do. A deceptive manipulation of the truth, attempting to sound comical and a tag in the profile of ‘kind’.
Be kind.
Here’s the lesson – be kind to yourself. Don’t torture yourself.
Understand that you were born to experience good things, be treated well, be on the same wavelength with the people you surround yourself with.
A running theme in my posts recently is of honest, of telling the truth – you might find it difficult to find people you can actually do that with but make it your aim to have good people in your life that you can be open with.
