I agree, Pinkey08, I needed this also. Every now and then I allow myself to be CONSUMED with what others think about me. It's sad, but true. In many situations, I've given people the benefit of the doubt ONLY for them to come back and put DAGGARS in my back. I recently experienced something like that because I let my guard down and FORGOT that everybody does not have the same positive, uplifting, and friendly agenda that I have and hope for whenever I try to get to know someone (and I'm speaking SPECIFICALLY about women in this case). Just when you THINK that you're doing your BEST to cultivate a relationship that will be positive and fruitful, the other person uses it as an opportunity to TRY to degrade you, humiliate you, intimidate you, and TRY to make themselves look better. And for WHAT reason? I don't know. But there's a positive side to situations like this. After going through what I recently went through and reading this post, I THANK GOD for giving me a HEART that KNOWS how to feel. And I thank Him for making me JUST the way that I am. I've never been the type to limit myself to being friendly and cordial to others. But I had to RE-REALIZE that certain folks HAVETO be kept at a distance in order for one to keep his or her peace, sanity, and integrity.
I was DEEPLY encouraged by this post. And God bless the person who emailed it to AKA2D '91.
