What does it really matter?
Posted On 08/11/2008 07:01:58 by MsManda

What does it really matter?

You spend every moment doing everything you can to make someone else happy. You sacrifice things you never thought you would, things that you swore you wouldn't, just to make someone else happy. Is it ever really worth giving everything you have to another, when in the end all they are going to do is take the best part of you and crush it! When all they are going to do is whatever makes them happy, totally oblivious to pain they are causing!!

I cannot even begin to describe how it feels to look into another's eyes, knowing they see the hurt and pain in yours, and they go about their day as if it doesn't matter. They say things, things that would probably seem innocent to another, and you just want to run out the door and keep running. They do things, that may seem innocent to another, all the while knowing and not caring that it hurts someone. When a person changes so much, in such a short time, and they are no longer the person you thought they were. Were they ever really that person to begin with? Or is it just something you wanted to see?

When you start becoming someone else, do things and act differently, in hopes that that person will notice you....love you. When you fight for every breath you take, when it's a struggle just to make it through the day, and it never matters in the end. The person you are fighting so hard for, is fighting for another, and no matter how hard you try...nothing ever changes. In the end, the harder you try, the harder you push that person away because in the end, you weren't what they really wanted anyways.

So I ask again....what does it really matter?

"What" may not be the question -
     If you're doing this for someone else, the question is "Why does it matter?". Why should you bother doing anything if that other cares not one whit? Why do you think the care at all? Setting out to do something to better yourself in the hopes that it will make another love you is the quickest way to set yourself up for a fall I can think of. Better odds to play the lottery with all zeros for numbers.
     Sugarcain is right. You might want to look hard at why it is so important you do this for someone else, but not for yourself. Hanging you hat on someone else's approval is a lost cause...


Take care,


Dennis

As you change, it is normal to see the people around you change as well. It is not how they see you that matters, it is how you see yourself.

1) Self-love doesn't seem to be of interest to you. Before you have to concern yourself with how others treat you, you need to take time for yourself and find out if there's other things in your life that make you happy. If servicing others makes you happy, and you find that the person you are trying to help isn't grateful, why not do volunteer work? Then, you both give and take happiness from those who truly need all the help available.

2) Matter of perception: Are YOU what you want to be? Fcuk everything that is an expectation. Sure, they exist, not saying they don't. But in all honesty, YOU have to be the person YOU want to be. No one can change an individual, no matter how hard they try. Like what was said previously, think of yourself first in this instance. It's important towards recovery.

I apologize if anything that was said was harsh. But, like Isiah said, it is in all truth. Hope this helps.

Blessings,

Good question!

As I've been told repeatedly, I am responsible for my own happiness and my happiness has to come from within. I am a fool if I make my sense of well-being dependent upon someone else...tough, hard to swallow but true!
