Haunted By My Past

Maybe I’m not paying attention because the 1,000 people before you let me down.

Lost my trust.

Broke my heart.

Made me feel bad about myself.

Maybe I’m not dismissing your efforts, ignoring your calls or discarding your invitations.

Maybe I’m handcuffed by my past, strung up by bad memories, a prisoner of my own loneliness.

People approach friendship the way they do for a reason.

Don’t let those reasons make you give up.

    Total God-thing I read this today. Trying to mentor someone and she’s currently ignoring my calls because she messed up and I don’t think she wants to talk to me since. I’m so aggravated that we can’t just talk it out but I have to remember her past. Thank you.

      Amy, I’m glad it connected with where you are. I’ve definitely been there…probably on both sides of the table. ;)

    […] Sometimes it seems like someone prefers distance to relationship. That they discard opportunities to friendship. But maybe things aren't…  […]
