A Helping Hello

Why is it that people that you help think it’s okay to run over you too?

I mean you fucking practically share your whole damn life with someone and they don’t know when to say, “okay maybe I’ve received enough.”

The only thing they do is continue to use you and act like it isn’t shit.

Like um…no thank you? Well how ungrateful.

It burns me up to know that a person that is damn near willing to lose their whole livelihood just to make others  feel okay and happy can be so easily abused.

Just because you know that the person that will help everyone rarely ever speaks up for themselves doesn’t mean that they don’t have thoughts, feelings, or maybe even a heart that wants to hear Thank You.

Everything and every person that one is blessed to receive in their life doesn’t mean that it’s deserved, sometimes it’s just a life lesson.

But, what if you don’t want that person or thing to be just another blessing that you haven’t worked for?

Too many people today have no problem receiving what they didn’t work for.

When did it become okay to think that someone else is responsible for your happiness or your well-being?

Why can’t the people of today get off their asses and work for the things that they want?

You know, because there isn’t always going to be someone there to catch you when you fall; and, if you never have had to live life and take care of YOU, you will never even have a clue what to do when/if you decide to get back up.

There shouldn’t be any excuses as to why you can’t improve yourself as an individual, WITHOUT, the help of another human being.

If you’ve always had help along the journey called life, you will never ever get to see all the other beauties that are within yourself nor the outside world because you will only know the way someone else taught you; so, sometimes you have to wonder alone in order to understand who you are and your capabilities.

If you sit down and allow yourself to think for yourself and solve your own problems, I’m pretty damn sure that there will be more happiness within yourself and less blaming of other people for you life’s downfalls.

The only way to make it up a ladder or make it in life is if you take the initiative and take the first step on your own and you must know that there won’t always be a person there to rescue you.

You shouldn’t have to tell the people that have helped you along in life goodbye forever, but you at least need to get away from them at some point so that maybe the next time they see you, the REAL you can say HELLO with a smile on your face because you now know a little more about what in life fits you.
