karma...long

[allensavannahs]

Do you believe in Karma? I do. I truly think what goes around comes around, and you need to be thoughtful in your decisions.  you need to think about what you say, when you say it and how you say it. If you make a promise you need to keep it, if you can't you need to offer an explanation.
   When asked about something... even if it's kinda touchy cut and dry I love honesty, I also love an explanation. It seems to me that maybe your promise, your word... are lies and you don't care as much as you say.  I get being selfish and wanting what you want.... I don't agree with taking people who love you for granted... I don't agree with bare minimum... I don't understand the false sense of security people give... the game if you will. Maybe because I have never played that game. I always have been upfront about things, never said this and meant that.... People usually know where they stand with me, and if they don't they are in denial. 
   I think that there are lines drawn every day in every relationship.  Acquaintances or otherwise, Its up to all of us to maintain those lines.  So Karma doesnt bite us in the ass.  For me the lines are drawn according to priority and appropriateness.  In my opinion, and the way I try to live my life is  that some things just aren't appropriate, some friendships aren't appropriate, some actions are not appropriate.  Some times ties need to be cut no matter how harmless they are in the here and now, because IT IS THE APPROPRIATE THING TO DO.  I'm no saint for sure, but I don't usually do things to that I know are going to hurt people... I don't usually act inappropriate for my own selfishness, especially if I care about someone; their feelings are more important to me.
   I tend to put people first and me last ...maybe I should switch that.  Na if I did that then I really would be a bitch , just not what you see on the outside..it would be in my very core. 
   So how many people believe in Karma?? how about Honor??? Respect?? Doing the RIGHT thing? Standing up for whats right, instead of letting it "settle down" What ever happened defending people and saying HEY that's NOT right!!!

I suppose I get not wanting to get in the middle of your friends relationships... everyone has their "cross" to bear, and you don't know what happens behind closed doors so its really not fair to interject your opinion..now if you SEE with your OWN two eyes an injustice and you don't say anything then that is epic FAIL , in my opinion. If its happening in your house, and wrongs are committed to YOUR family, NOT saying anything is also an in justice. 
   For the most part i'm a do what your gonna do kinda girl, I figure what ever its your life who am I to tell you who, what , when, why and how.  If you ASK be prepared to hear the TRUTH I rarely sugar coat things as well.  I don't think lieing does anyone any favors. 
   If your a child and your path seems to be cluttered with debris, I will interject my opinion.  Its hard being a kid, was for me, it  is for my son it will be for my younger two and it will be for my  grand kids.  Why is it so hard? parents....
   Parents have an idea on how things should be.  Some parents want you to live the life they couldn't, or didn't have, so their expectations are so high they might as well be the moon; Honor roll, sports, clubs millions of friends, name brand clothes, all the high tech gadgets.
Some parents just want you to have fun, so they never lay any foundations down for you and when you become a teenager or a young adult you run so far amuck you have a really hard time coming back down, being responsible. 
Further some parents want you to be so successfull that they loose site of you. 
Then there are the parents want you to be successful in any way, they just want you to get decent grades, have a couple of friends and do "normal" teenage stuff like the mall, concerts, movies etc, they do understand that what ever stage your in can be very difficult, they didn't forget from their own child hood; and wish someone had given them cliff notes on how to make it easier... not that they would have listened but the information would have been nice to have.  So now they are trying to give the "cliff notes" only to be shot down, ignored, and disliked.
   I guess its a clear case in all aspects ... Karma....Respect...honor... standing up for what is right , its a damned if you do and damned if you don't. It is what it is because that's the way it is.... I guess I'm tired of lying down in the middle of the road waiting for the bus to run me over.  
   I think I spent alot of my time underachieving, acutally I know I did.  When I became a mom I started to see that you need to do certian things to be successful,  take it slow and do it right. I took my time moving out of my parents house because I knew when I left I didn't want to have to come back. I moved out twice... came home ... and got the whole fail thing in the back of my mind...This last time isn't all my fault but it sure feels like it. 
   The things that have happened in my life over the last 4-5 months have made me think about karma... what did I do , who did I piss off etc, Or is this a case of "it is what it is because that's the way it is".... I'm grateful to be safe, I'm grateful to have my children safe. I just wonder how I got here.
Do you ever wonder if someone will, can, or does love you as much or more than you love them? Is that even possible?
or is everyone just out for them self's???
