If there is anything I learned so far in my life it is don’t let one bad apple spoil the bunch. After being emotionally mishandled as a child into my young adult years, it really caused me to be extremely cautious around people and I frequently observe what they say and do. And if I see or feel one wrong thing or think in someway that person would harm me emotionally I run. Because of this I have a really hard time trusting people and keeping the beautiful friendships I’ve made throughout the years. I let one bad apple from my past ruin it for everyone who wants to be apart of my life now, because they see the good I can bring and my potential and I ruin it for myself by always thinking someone will see something that would make them change their idea about me.
You see, recently I realized that one bad apple had nothing to do with me, it was all that person knew growing up or maybe they felt guilty about the decision they made and I was an unlucky victim! This causes a never ending cycle of rotten fruit attempting to spoil the next. That rotten fruit almost had me, to know my past you would believe that I had every right to be mad and everyone and everything. A cycle that stops now.
All this to say don’t let someone else bad behavior, bad thoughts, horrible vibes dictate how you would continue to treat others and yourself. Always treat all and yourself with love, trust me it all comes back to you regardless.
