Today I learned that there are people in my life that will test my patience & understanding regarding so many things; that some of them will make me question the things I willingly gave & sacrificed for them in the past. It breaks my heart that some of the people I care about have a hard time admitting their own mistakes; that they would rather blame it on some other things. It's hard for them to look at the big picture & see why things went down the way it did. Maybe it's because of pride. Maybe they're too proud. Maybe they don't want to be held responsible for it. Still, it's wrong. I hope & pray that it's not too late for them to change; that someday they will realize that they need to change the way they view things that are happening around them & start owning up to the mistakes they may have caused - whether intentionally or not. And instead of playing the blaming game, it would be much better to start thinking of a solution & work together to make things right.
Life isn't complicated, I believe. It's us who makes things complicated.
This breaks my heart, but at least, I learned something new.

Today I learned that not everyone in your life will always be there for you to rely on. Some of them will help you sincerely. Some of them will help you because they know you can return the favor someday. And some of them will take advantage of you in every way possible. It's up to you how to sort them out. They can be a friend of yours or a family member which actually hurts even more because they're someone who shouldn't think twice of being there for you. If you're too good, too generous or too helpful then be careful and be cautious. Too many people will take advantage of that.
Help if you must. Give if you can. Be kind always. But don't let anyone abuse your kindness and generosity. Because one day, if you're the one who needs help, those people who relied on you back then won't always be there for you.
Learn to love yourself more. Focus on you first.

Today I learned that if I could turn back the time, I would have tried my best to make better decisions for myself and try not to worry about the others so much. Maybe then I would have been happier. Though I'm happy now, I do have my regrets. But since I can't do anything about the past, this will serve as a future reference for me - to focus on myself first before anything or anyone else.
