Some people refuse to accept the reality that others have changed and left them in the past.
People have told me recently that they see me as a fake. That I am only doing it for the girls. They refuse to accept that I have changed.
How they can say this, I’m not sure. Perhaps it is because these people are no longer a part of my life. Perhaps it is because they are choosing to focus on the bad.
Perhaps it is because they don’t want to believe I’ve changed. Perhaps it is because I slip now and again, but nobody is perfect. Perhaps it is because of something that I’ve long forgotten about
I don’t really know. I know that I follow Jesus Christ.
If you haven’t read it already let me just say this, the page I wrote called What Happened To Me, is a story. Told through my perspective of how I remember the events in question. It is a back story, I do not blame any one in it for anything that happened anymore. I did then, not now. They played a part in the story, but nothing more. I have forgiven each and every one of them. The events that occurred do not affect me anymore.
Life is hard, my own life has been difficult, but I know it doesn’t hold a candle to certain other people I know. I’ve gone through pain, but pain is a part of life. We learn from it. And if you don’t learn from it, you are angered by it. You become resentful and bitter.
Someone from my past was very upset about what I said on my new page. They claimed that I didn’t mention any of the stuff I did on the page. I came to find out that they had taken it completely out of context. They hadn’t even read anything else on this blog. This person accused me of being fake. This person accused me of hating them for deciding to no longer be friends with them. This person failed to understand, that I simply could not be friends with them anymore. There was no hate behind my decision. No malice. I was clear headed.
This person brought up things that I did in the past and have long since apologized for. I’m not sure what more this person wants from me. They accused me of building my religion on hate; to build a pedestal for myself from which I judge others. They accused me once again of only doing it for the girls.
Here is what they don’t know.

HOLY CRAP BATMAN!! I’m definitely doing it for the girls! I can clearly see how that makes sense! Totally! I’m not doing it to learn about
Some will seek forgiveness, others escape.
I sought forgiveness, and found it in God.
Others seek escape by any means necessary.
