Expecting a Different Result

ahhh...'Groundhog Day." It's only funny when
it happens to somebody else!

So finally it dawns on my thick ass; If you keep burning
your hands every time you touch the stove, change
what you're doing! Stop touching the stove!

A novel concept, but sometimes when the 'stove' is 'people'
and you're distracted by the false promises and you
believe you're weak and need other people, you can
make allowances. But enough's enough.

Once people have shown you their true nature, it's on you
that you keep letting them in or letting them hurt you. Words
be damned. Actions speak loudest, and they tell volumes.

Doesn't it seem entirely likely that the fellow with the most
to hide and the most to prove is going to pretend to be the
best guy around? It's not endearing at age 42 to still be naive
about human nature.

Leopards don't change their spots.
Snakes always bite, even when they hiss that they won't.
Accept what you know, and trust in self.

At the end of the day, that's all there is.
And that's not a curse or a burden--it's a hell of a powerful
revelation. I've got everything I need right in here. Why would
I have ever believed otherwise?
