Sometimes people suck!

Sometimes people suck!

I love people.

I love most people.

I really do.

But sometimes people suck.

Sometimes you want a relationship you just can’t have.

You want someone in your life to be different than they are.

Maybe you want them to say things to you…like “I love you.”

Maybe you want them to not say things to you…like “You are an idiot.”

When you want something from someone who doesn’t give it to you…

It just sucks.

But you can’t change people.

You can’t fit people into that perfect mold of a person that you want them to be.

You can’t will them that way…

You can’t force them that way…

It’s not up to you…

It just sucks.

What you can do is take them for what they are.

Let them be who they are – and you be who you are.

If they choose to treat you bad – you get to walk away.

If they talk to you in a way you don’t like – you get to walk away.

You get to choose the boundaries you set for yourself.

Because you care about yourself.

And you may even care about the other person.

But you can’t change them.

So, when you start to feel that tension with someone.

That tension that they are not acting the way you want them to – take a step back.

Be in charge of yourself – the only person you can be in charge of.

Set a boundary and follow through.

And you’ll find that even though sometimes people suck – they won’t suck the life out of you.
