For my peeps ❤
This week I have dealt with a lot of emotions, all about people. Good, bad, complicated, confusing and at times a little torturous.
I spent the first half of the week feeling sick with anger towards one person. I cried a lot out of frustration and hurt. How one human being's selfish, calculating and downright childish behaviour can have such a lasting effect is impressive but terrifying. And sadly probably exactly what they wanted to achieve. It's a little heart breaking to think that at a time which they know must be hell already, they can't just step back and be....I dunno, nice? Normal? A decent human being? It doesn't take a lot for me to feel sad at the moment, but anger has been pretty nonexistent until this.
But the point of this blog is to acknowledge that I am surrounded by wonderful friends and family who all make me feel loved, safe and most importantly after this week, justified in everything I feel. I am going through a whole concoction of crap and however I feel about it is ok.
I am allowed to be angry at my situation. I am allowed to be upset about my future. I don't have to be positive all the time. And I don't have to like everyone.
There are good people and bad people in the world. Your life will always be a mixture of both. It's unrealistic to say 'just cut out the bad people', because life sadly doesn't work that way. We are thrown into situations that are out of our control, and forced to be around people we would never choose to waste our time on.
But hopefully your life will be one part nasty, a million parts lovely. Mine is that perfect cocktail of fabulous people. And what's a drink without a little sour slice on the side?
To all my friends and family who have been there for me this week, every week before and all the weeks after. You're awesome. I love you. Thank you for being my peeps ❤
