It is what it is.......

You ever assume that folk will act or react a particular way because you feel you know them? I see that assumptions don't always make an ass out of people but sometimes their just reminders of things we need to adjust in life. In my assuming isn't bad depending on what the assumption is towards. Realistically, its only the people closet to you or that you care about the most that can let you down. I remember this happening over the years and while I realized that you will never be able to end let downs and disappointments. I can control if you suffer from repeated pain or new fresh pain. New pains mean your growing and life is changing around you. Repeating the same assumptions and subsequent let downs are signs of insanity; repeating the same actions and expecting different results.

I'd always say "ok this person or this situation got the best of me." I'd embrace the let down and hurt for all it was worth and once I internalized the lesson of the hurt, I evolved and moved on. If you hurt me with a body blow then you better improve your hook cuz the body is protected now. So, that result is me today Jason 2K9....Nightfall XP.LoL. I still have emotions as strong as ever but with a reliable on/off switch for protection. I love my people for the goods and bads. No person is the total pacCage. Peoples interests differ. We all have selfish, ego centric traits and they show up at times with us not even knowing it.

I've come to a point that I make sure anything I do is cleared by my own personal goals and beliefs first. After that if any one else likes it its frosting on the cake and if the world could care less then hey no harm no foul.
