Never settle for being someone’s OTHER

I always seek to understand…

One never really knows what is happening in someone else’s life.

We may THINK we know, but we would be silly to assume we know how another is feeling or thinking.

For those who have never been caught in a love triangle, the mind boggles.
The judgement is there.
The lack of empathy is there.
The name calling and endless gossip forms part of their day.

And then there are the questions from well meaning friends.

And the advice from anyone who actually gives a shit to talk to you!

One such piece of advice is:

“Never settle for being someone’s OTHER, when you know you have the potential to be someone’s ONLY.”

Why yes, thank you.
Of course I KNOW I have the potential to be someone’s ONLY.

I can see that clearly from the depths of this dark shit hole I am sitting in right now.

I completely understand that most guys would be excited and willing to date a divorced woman, who has 3 small kids!

Yes I feel like a goddess, as I pop my anti-depressants!
I’m sure I look stunning with my less than perfect body and my bags under my eyes from lack of sleep.

I have no stress in my life, and my cup runneth over with wine from a box. Life is fucking great!

Yes, I have Soooooo much potential!

Nobody gave a shit about me when I was going through hell!

And then HE came into my life, and treated me like I was a princess.

I did not know he was married! And to be honest, I probably wouldn’t have cared if I did at that time in my life! He was being loving, and I was a vulnerable mess.

But please, go ahead. Share some more of your ignorance by treating me like a fool.

SEEK TO UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU JUDGE SOMEONE ELSE.
