No One Owes You Anything

Hey you, complainer of life! I’m speaking to you killjoy. I don’t mean to sound like a pessimist, but no one owes you anything.

God never fails you, but to think people can live up to your expectations is a joke. People are fickle and once emotions get mixed in getting an explanation for an action is a million to none. Don’t expect a response or the truth in some cases. I know you thought you at least deserve that, but who are you to question anyone? Well, that's what they say. 

Listen up, to all the best friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, family members, and whoever else that hurt you, forgive them. Forgive them because they may never give you an interpretation. Every day people are going through there own drama. Assuming your story at the time is more valuable isn't bright.  A word from the wise, time is your friend. Your situation can wait. It’s not always about you or me. I’m gradually learning this, but I can say it’s hard, but because God knows my heart. The greatest thing about God is he sends little gems to help me along for the ride. What an awesome God I serve.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but have you thought about all the options on the table? Sometimes you hurt the people you love feelings. Do you correct it? Are you even aware of these mistakes? No one owes you anything for sure, especially if you're not aware of the pain you might be causing. Now if you address the situation and the party says everything is fine, then you're covered. Have you done that? Don't let so much time pass you by and not have a discussion about it. The more time you let pass, the extra time for more emotions to play a part. The increased time for the mind to wander. Is this something worth losing?

Truly, no one owes you anything. Take responsibility for your actions and own up to it. Hold yourself accountable and do something about it. I know this sounds harsh, but this is the sad truth no one tells you. These are the growing pains you will feel if you don’t understand this now. You may never get closure regarding a situation, but don’t wait around for it.
