How often are you crying yourself to sleep? 

  Tears for that person who failed to come home? Tears for that person who made a multitude of promises that never came to pass? Tears created by frustration for the lies told BLUNT to your face? Tears that fail when you are simply, all cried out?

 “I never MEANT to make you cry!”

 Do you recall the first and last time this phrase or one similar was spoken to you; was it by the same person back to back? We never outgrow repetition, it is embedded for life.

 It is easier for us to create excuses for both the person who is tearing you apart and of course the one making the excuse. We fail to take the blame for it is easier to say, “THEY did this to ME” 

 Here is a glass of water to help wash this next pill down……

 Is it really THEM or is it YOU? Most people CAN and will only do what we allow. The more we allow, the MORE they will do; simple.

 Bandages are prominent once we place a timestamp on our relationships. We tend to ACCEPT what we normally would not tolerate, had it started from the very beginning.

 “I can not let them go, we have been together for too long”

 There is a limit within us all. When someone pushes us to the edge, that is when we fight back to avoid the fall. Question? When did we decide the FIGHT should only occur at the edge? Are you not worth MORE upfront and throughout, clear before being pushed that far?

 At the end of the day only you can decide if you rather tears of joy, which are (healthy) over tears of pain. Of course you can always flip the pillow over to start a new canvas but why paint such a picture filled with tears?
