Helping Others...

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!" 

How many times have you heard that? Or thought about it after someone hurt you? Me?? Too many times to count. I recently had been helping out a so-called "friend", when suddenly it came back to bite me in the ass. Doesn't is always seem to work that way? Or is it just me? 

I know a lot about vehicles (working on them, taking care of them and so forth) and I had helped her out with hers. We were friends, or so I thought. I'm sure you can tell where this story is going already! So I began letting my guard down around her. I talked about things that were bothering me regarding life, work, etc...well she decided to repeat a few of those "things" I told her in confidence. WOW! It was apparent my friendship was not something that mattered much to her. Repeating to others, things I told her in complete confidence, just screwed my life up. My fault. I shouldn't of let my guard down so quickly. Luckily it didn't leave a permanent mark on my life, as it could've VERY EASILY. Dumb move, right? So who can you trust nowadays? Seriously. Who? Besides family?? Apparently in my situation, no one. Getting stabbed in the back does hurt! It makes life much harder and leaves an almost permanent scar sometimes that never feels good. That scar reminds you to never let your guard down. People suck. That's a hard lesson I've had to learn. Why can no one keep a secret anymore? Why is it that the smallest of truth that comes out of your mouth ends up the biggest of lies being told to others?? Lies. Isn't that an awesome word? We are told from such a young age, "Don't lie, ALWAYS tell the truth, even if it hurts." I have lived by that my entire life. Did anyone actually pay attention to their families? It makes me wonder. Life lessons suck. People suck. It's a fact of life.
