Hey y'all it's been awhile. This is one I literally just finished writing.
It's been on my mind for about a week now but it finally all came together yesterday. Enjoy :-)
It comes in many different forms. The betrayal that hurts the most is the betrayal from those you thought would always be there.
You start to ask yourself why. Was I not good enough? Did I do something? What happened along the way. The truth is that it wasn't you. That's the point, the person betraying you isn't thinking of you at all in that moment. They allow their mouth or mind to run away with them and think later.
But it's worse when they don't even bother to acknowledge that they did anything wrong.
They carry on like nothing's changed, meanwhile you're suffering in silence. You're falling apart at the seems.
As it happens more and more you start to build a resistance. It's just another to add to the long list of names.
Another person who didn't realize what an amazing person they'd lost.
Because it may not feel like it at first, but the only person truly missing out is the betrayer.
If they can do or say things without even giving you a seconds thought then they're not worth the hurt.
"It was a mistake," you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you." Quote by David Levithan,.
It's true, because you work yourself into believing that if you'd just guarded yourself better, if you hadn't let that person in then they wouldn't have betrayed you.
If you'd kept them at arms length then you'd be fine. But that's not fair. Because there's no way when you first become friends with someone to tell if they're going to betray you one day.
So what should we do? Well this time there isn't really anything we can do. I'd tell you to choose your friends carefully but sometimes they can't even be trusted in the end.
Just remember that you're not alone. There are still genuine people left in your life. They may only be a few, but keep those people as close as possible.
Don't let the betrayal get you down for to long. Allow those few people to help you build yourself up again.
People will come and go in life, but those that stay no matter what are the ones who deserve the title of family.it doesn't have to just be you against the rest of the world. Others are their to keep you company and love you along the way.
Wear your scars like a badge, physical and emotional.
Yes you hurt me, yes I was down, but I got back up and I'm stronger now. In a twisted way you gave me that power to move on and become the person I am today.

Once again I hope you liked it, and I'll be uploading another one in a minute that I wrote about a month ago.
