Why do we do the things we do?

Things I Can't Say is one of my new blog faves.  I particuarly like and am linking to her Wednesday series Pour Your Heart Out.  I've decided this is the perfect spot to use those venting posts that sit in my draft folder.  It doesn't get more real than those things I write and never post.  This one was written in 2010.

I sometimes wish I could understand people better than I do.  I cannot understand ulterior motives.  I cannot understand saying you'll do one thing and then doing another.  Sometimes

I

get

hung

up

on

trying

to  figure it out. 

Sometimes I am cynical and untrusting of people's motives.

I try to just accept people for who they are.  I treat them kindly and love them "as is." One of the lessons I learned long ago is You never know what goes on behind closed doors.  God gave me a measure of empathy for those around me.  I found out I'm not a psychologist.  I can't fix everything for everyone.  But, I can be a bright spot in someones day.  I can be the person who will love them unconditionally.  This I do.  This I expect in return.  But that

gets

me

hung

up

again.

Not everyone is going to love me back in the same way.  If that realization stopped me then I would be placing conditions on my love. 

Pouring My Heart Out for the world to see,
