 You knew I was a snake when you picked me up
I’m not a very trusting person. And yet, when I do trust someone, and they disappoint me, I am still surprised. That strikes me as very funny at the moment.
Reminds me of the story of the woman and the snake “You knew I was a snake when you picked me up..."

I am feeling disappointed. I am feeling uncertain. I am feeling as though perhaps instead of seeking out a new truth in regard to my view of  men, perhaps acceptance, and a willingness to be okay with the way things are.. perhaps that is the way to go.

I hate generalizations. I don't want to generalize. I am a proactive person, I seek truth, I seek growth. But with this issue, I can't control or change how things play out.. or perhaps I can. Perhaps in spite of the way things look, I can choose to know that there is a truth I have yet to see.

I know that is the way to go, but I am just so over it today, and I just feel sick, - nauseated. I wish I didn't. I wish I could see the good in them, but I can't right now.

i was just fumbling through and found this , and just had to comment.
I'm not a very trusting person either.
I want to be,.... very much so.
but past history has led me to be so very untrusting.
I honestly belive (for the most part) that people want to be good people,
but we are flawed.
so where does the line be drawn, if I trust a person , and they fail, did they betray me... or themselves?
or did I fail?
it is almost safer sometimes to be with one who will say right up front,"yup Im a snake".
that way there is no let down, I know eventually I'm gona get bit, and so I just simply brace myself for it, pack the med kit,..and move on.
so again where does the line be drawn.
if I do trust some one, and yet I accept that they are only human, then the best I can hope for is that they will TRY to be true, and that I can kinda live with.

sry if this was long.

They, do, influx. but so do women, truth be told.

Wraith, I like what you said here. You have to allow for human error. But you have to get to a place where you can recognize what is okay and what is not; decide what you can and cannot control and act accordingly. That is where I am. Magic, perfect people do not exist, (newsflash to self :) we've all got our issues, right?

I have heard the story of the snake and the woman. And I do relate to your post here. Blessings, Scarlet

If your plans go wrong,
As they sometimes will,
And the hours seem long,
As you climb the hill,
Remember,my friend,
'Tis a part you play,
You'll find in the end,
A brighter day--
It's life,
So play your part,
And do your best,
It's life.
