People....Good, Bad, AND the Ugly...

There are SO many different people in our lives aren't there...this week for me has been FILLED with quite the array of people...the happy, the sad, the good, the kind, the rude, the selfish, the "I'm better then everyone", the angry, the inconsiderate, the ones who continue to bless your life, the "I'll help in ANY way I can", and on and on and on....there are LOTS of people out there...


With all I've opened myself up to...with all I've put out on the line (or online)...with as honest and open as I've been...I'm REALLY surprised with how people are and how they act. I don't know what it is...but I've gotten a whole lot of reactions or responses or comments or whatever. Some of them I have to choose to ignore and move on...and others I just relish and read over and over again to realize that there REALLY are genuinely KIND people out there!!! 


It's hard to find in this world isn't it...people who only want to help...only want to say positive things...only want to lift people up. Instead we find...(and I'm just as guilty of it)...people who are constantly negative...criticizing themselves and others...complaining about anything and everything...trying to make others look worse to lift themselves maybe!?!?!?! I don't know...but I've been thinking about it a lot the last few days...just about the people I have around me. 




And I'm FINALLY starting to realize that I need to be done with some and move on. I need to surround myself with people who lift me up...who are really there to help...who genuinely CARE about me and how I'm doing. 

I don't need the ones who make smart @$$ comments about me or my family or what I may or may not be doing.
I don't need the ones who just by their looks or expressions can show that they really don't care and don't want to hear anything about how I'm REALLY doing.
I don't need the ones who aren't honest with me, or themselves for that matter, because what good does lying do??


I NEED to surround myself with happy, positive, GOOD people who will lift my spirits when I'm having a bad day...who will make me smile when I don't feel like doing it on my own. I need people who love me for who I am and nothing more. 
People who I know I can count on even when I can't see them...like that saying says...friends and people who will talk or help whenever I need it!!!


I just need to think a little more...I am VERY much a people person...but when the people I am around make me angry or bring me down...that's not a good quality to have...I need to surround myself with people who make me the HAPPY BECKI!!!! Is that too much to ask!?!?!

I am honestly SO SO SO incredibly grateful for all the amazing comments that were left on my last post...not all of them were on this blog...but rather on the link I put on facebook...BUT if I could share them all on here I would...they seriously made me cry to realize how much people really DO care about me. THOSE are the people I need to keep around me...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all of you...and to the others...buh-bye ;)

That was very nice...I hope I am not one of your mean friends :) I guess it's hard to be mean when we never see eachother :)
It sounds like you are making some good changes, and I like this post because I am at the same point.
One of my favorite quotes is "Because Nice Matters" So simple, and so true! Good friends are good to have! And even thought we don't get to see you much, I think you are a good person and a good friend! I luv your guts!
