Lies

I hate being lied to. Well, I know no body does but it really bothers me. Especially when my significant other does it, friends and family. I don't know why it's so hard to tell the truth. I know some who lie don't want to hurt the person or try to avoid an altercation. 

But I try not to lie, try is the key word. I have told my fair share of lies and hidden my fair of secrets but when you're in a relationship, especially one that you have been in for years, it's a bit tedious now. Frankly, it annoys me. I don't appreciate being lied to. I want no lies and no secrets but apparently that is too much to ask for nowadays. I honestly don't care if they don't want to start a fight or hear me complain but hiding stuff makes it worse. Especially when I do find out the truth. Before anyone readers make assumptions, I don't think my significant other is cheating BUT I do have a feeling he is keeping something form me and honestly, it's upsetting. I try to be as honest as possible. As you might have read my Relationship post, my current boyfriend and I have had a rough past. Lies, secrets and betrayal. Why did I stick around? I don't know, I love him. Things were getting better but since he and I don't spend a lot of time together any more because of occupations, I noticed a change in him. Like he's falling back into the same patterns as before. Frankly, I am disappointed. I wish things were different. I wish when he said he changed, he really did. So who knows what our future holds now. Maybe there is no future. Who knows.

I am also sick of my family telling lies about one another and hiding things from each other. We are family! Seriously, grow up!! I am just sick of it. I can't even deal with this anymore. Family obviously means nothing to some of the members in my family.

My friends, we lost touch but some I am still pretty close to and I appreciate how they can vent to me but when they make it seems like they are about to tell me something and then steer away from the topic. It's unnerving, I was always the go to friend to share things with because I am a very understanding individual and I try to help the best I can.

I don't know. Times have changed. People change. Traditions have changed. Maybe, I am overreacting. But it doesn't stop the fact that it upsets me.

What Happened To Family?

I was taught growing up, that you should ALWAYS be there for family, no matter what! You never disrespect family members.

Thanks to social media, and those who post about their business. I have noticed no one takes family seriously anymore. This girl was calling her sister and mother all kinds of vulgar things, because she wasn't happy with them. Really? On Facebook?! Let alone calling them such names? I would never do that to my mother or siblings.

My few family members who spreads rumors and lies about my mother! That makes me beyond livid. We are family, what is wrong with you!?

I see parents who would rather party than be with their child. I could never do that to my child! Your child should be your priority.

I see parents who will toss their children at anyone to watch, so they can get a "break." Are you kidding me?! You need a break? Occasionally wanting to go out, I get that but constantly asking for someone to watch your child because you don't want to be around your child! Wtf...

Family members who barely know each other and add each other on social media and randomly like your posts. Communication is barely a thing anymore.

Kids barely know what family time is anymore because technology has taken over! It is getting ridiculous.

My parents raised me to be there for family. No matter what the circumstances are. I would give my shirt off my back for my family. If they need to vent, I will be there. They need help? I will help. I take family very seriously.

I am not implying all families are like this BUT there is a growing number of those who are. I think people need to figure out what family really is...
