Human Challenges 

I had hoped that I would have some lull periods for a while longer, or that adversity wouldn’t hit it… YAH RIGHT! That is pure wistful thinking.

Things have been unfolding and the biggest challenge that is facing me right now is PEOPLE. I guess for me, it’s always been a hard thing to deal with, since I am a highly emotional person.

I generally trust people when I first meet them (a bit naive) and generally expect them to be the same (very naive). So when someone shows their true colours (in a not so positive way) towards me, I get shocked and hurt.

I know I shouldn’t take things personally, but I generally can’t help feeling betrayed or deceived. The world has always said to expect the worst of people, and I guess if I follow that, than these hurts won’t happen as much as I would expect that of others. But I refuse to always think badly of people, unless they prove it to me. That’s the optimist part of me. Always trusting that others will behave with integrity and fairness.

Blah.
