Throughout much of my life, I have ducked my head to avoid notice, and ran from adversity. My life has ever been an uphill struggle & a battle against the tide.
I was raised to do unto others, and I believed that one day I would also be a recipient of the same generosity that I bestowed on my neighbors. However, I felt the sting of irony time and time again when nobody was there for me when I needed a friend the most.
This in turn caused me to become a bitter person. I started viewing everybody with distrust. Why should I care about those who have done nothing for me, when it has only brought me pain?
Little did I realize that this very bitterness was causing those who wanted to be there for me from being able to do so. It also never occured to me that my bitterness was preventing me from being there for those I do care about.
So with every passing day from this point on, I will be working to overcome the cynicism that has worked itself into my life. Those I love do not deserve to see that in me, and I deserve better for myself as well.
