Let’s just be real for a second.
There are some shitty less-than-awesome people in this world. I mean, I’m sure they occasionally have intentions of being cool, but it’s just not working out. The bad news, is that these certain people will hurt you at some point. They’re going to break your heart and they’ll crush your dreams. Some of them might be capable of tearing you down and ripping you apart, while others might just shatter your complete faith in humanity. All of these things that may happen (and likely will happen) might not be on purpose, but they usually occur because there are people who just need to make others feel like garbage so that they can feel better about their unhappiness.
However it happens and when it does, it’s going to suck. It might last for a little while, or it could actually suck really bad for a long time.
It’ll make you angry and frustrated. If you’re anything like me, you’ll want to throw things and scream into pillows. You’ll feel the need to cry, pout, sulk, and just be miserable because you can. Ice cream or a stiff drink (or two) might make things temporarily better. I’m sure you’ll find your own vices to numb the pain – and that’s perfectly fine.
You’re going to feel pretty crappy, even if it’s just for a brief moment. Luckily, it’s not the end of the world. I promise you.
No matter how many times a handsome jerk/pretty girl breaks your heart or a(nother) self-centred bitch [fe]male talks smack behind your back. Regardless of how often people lie to your face, ruin friendships, and let you down. Despite the fact that people continuously prove their crappy personalities and morals…
THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD.
I’ve experienced my share of heart breaking and head aching moments, caused by people who obviously didn’t care about my feelings. And just when I started to get down on myself and almost start believing that maybe it was my own fault, I was saved.
I’ve realized that for all the uncool people I’ve let into my life, there’s several amazing people just waiting to be a great friend to me. For every single person who’s walked out of my life, another person with a big heart and lots of love to share is always there – waiting to hug me and remind me how I deserve better. And for every time I thought that my life was over because someone left me in the dust, I realize that I’m still here, alive and smiling, even though they’re long gone and pretty much forgotten.
The truth is that you’re going to get hurt; it’s a part of life.
But for every time you do, remember this:
1) You’re better than those assholes people.
2) You’re an incredible human being, with so much potential and worth. You deserve to be happy.
3) There are too many people who truly love, adore, and worship you. Remember who they are, and be grateful for them. Keep them close.
Don’t let mean people get to you. Just let it go, and keep doing your thing – you wonderful person, you.
