“There are always those people whom you don’t betray, and if betrayed by them then you’re better left alone.” – Kia
We seek solace in friends and family. People we run back to in our despair, who wouldn’t disdain us even if it came with a price. Ingenuity is in staying genuine and loyal to people we care about, it’s not a tactful act but rather a morally appropriate choice that one ideally seeks before the condemn.
I wouldn’t know how else to put it if given a choice, I’d still run back to people who truly stood for me when I found myself struggling with the swamp. Sometimes, you feel so dense that you ignore the cues and let it all slide before you find yourself snowballing in middle of nowhere.
People do betray and people are betrayed even by the loved ones. Life does get mundane and things do route differently when you feel despised by people who you once really cared about, there are solutions to the problems and the solution of betrayal is you should take a step back from your relationship with the person or people who betrayed you. It will hurt for a while, you will feel secluded, your relationship with that person may come across as beyond repair. Your distance from them is your lesson, not a lesson for them but for you.
Your naïveté makes you a better person and your vulnerability can be your strength when you’re betrayed. Someone else’s misconduct is not your fault but stretching your relationship with them is your responsibility. You cannot play pretend and let it glide. You cannot look over and let it be. You cannot ignore the hurt that comes along. You shouldn’t be used by people who’d repeat the same betrayal and ignore your wellness twice.
People who can ignore your well-being are never your people. If they do not come across as your well-wishers then they know when and how they want to hurt you, so be aware of your surroundings, be aware of your people, sweetness may come in words but the intentions are seen in their actions. You must enjoy your bitter coffees instead of delving in on fake sweetness. Because nothing must cost you your well-being.
People must learn to repay the debt of kindness if they are hell bent on repaying their hate. Betraying is the worst form of hate which is a guilt if you’re a good person. If you’re betrayed out of goodness, you’d want them back but if you’re betrayed out of malign intentions then you know that you won’t be able to hold on to that relationship for longer because resentment of keeping them will hurt more than letting them go.
Your mental health is more important than keeping up with the society because social norms says, “You must appear healthy and wealthy despite your emotional baggage.” No one can help you but yourself and no one can lift you up but yourself. You’re your saviour and you’re your survival story.
