Fed Up?

Do you ever get to the point where you’re just fed up with the way things are headed in your life? At times it seems as if am stuck in some kind of horrific nightmare that I can’t wake up from. I’m at that point in life where I am so fed up that I wake up every morning increasingly frustrated. I’m not frustrated or fed up about the usual topics some people might feel down about. Yes, I’m single but I am genuinely happy. I am not the type of person who needs a guy constantly in her life to be happy. I am not fed up because I don’t look a certain way, or I “wish” I looked like someone else. Honestly speaking, I love the way I look and wouldn’t change a thing.

The reason why I am so fed up is because I have noticed a few things:
1. People who are evil hearted, and step on others to get to higher places in life always seem to succeed and are happier.
2. People who treat others like shit always expect others to treat them with respect. Last time I checked you need to give respect to get respect.

Some of you might read this and assume this is jealousy speaking. I’d say that this isn’t jealousy, or envy. Just curiosity. First, I am the type of person who puts in 110% effort into everything I do; I also have to work hard for everything I want. Some people get everything they want, I on the other hand have to work and work harder to get to that point. Others have it easier, and the one thing they all have in common is that they are the ones who backstab, hurt and manipulate to get to that point. Should I change how I am? I think about that question everyday …I come to the same conclusion. I could never live with myself if I become a “evil” person. I can’t hurt people, I can’t use people for my own benefit. I’d rather be true to myself and put an effort into what I do in order to achieve what I want. In the end my head is held up high.

Second, people will always have attitudes, personalities and different tones in their voice. We have to instead of getting offended, adapt and change the way we respond to those people. In the end we are the better person, instead of telling them off (because I know we can) we accept their rude behavior and let god take care of it. He is watching.

They say life has its darkest moments, before we see the light. They also say that we are put through these tests in life, because this is preparing us for something bigger in life. So should we get fed up, lose hope and quit? I don’t think so. We need to stay strong and not let the up’s and down’s in life effect us. I often feel that when I take two steps forward I tend to take ten steps back. Life is hard, if everything were so easy how it wouldn’t be fun, we wouldn’t learn, and we wouldn’t be the people we are today.

I have to say, be tough, be strong, “baby don’t cry keep your head up even when the road gets hard never give up” – 2Pac.
