Blessing in Disguise

February 13, 2008

I have this bad habit of trusting people too much, and easily too! And when I trust or love a person, I give my all (I think I do) and that’s where the problem starts. Sometimes, some people have this tendency to take for granted the people or things that they are so used to having around. I’m not saying that if I love, it should be given back .. it’s just that sometimes it reaches a point that the person I love not only takes me for granted but in some ways, they make me feel that they don’t believe me how much I care for them (like doubting, thinking ill, etc). How unfair and hurtful is that?

Despite this sad thought, I’m still thankful though that there are people who care for me too, they keep me grounded, and they always remind me to do a reality check especially when it comes to my relationships even if I’m stubborn (I have this attitude of always pushing for what I want, even if it already hurts me as long as my friend or loved one is happy, I’m okay with it).

So why the title? Well, something happened recently - a blessing definitely! There was one person who I cared for so much, and he/she just showed his/her true colors. All the efforts I made were just nothing pala, he/she still thought I was this or that. It was a blessing ‘coz it brought me back to my senses, that what I was doing was not worth it at all (the patience, understanding, sacrifices, and all else in between). I thought it was okay to help even if I’m not happy anymore, but the ‘event’ made me realized it’s not at all okay. It was a blessing in disguise, a sign for me to see that what I was doing was not good at all, I thought I was helping him/her but I now realized that maybe he/she just needs another form of help and not the way I thought it should be. I’m not saying I’m not friends with him/her anymore, I just know now my ‘part’. Now, the burden is off me, and I’m much happier!
