Betrayal stings so bad because it always stings to be wrong. Wait what?? Yes…. that’s right. It’s rough to truly believe someone “Would never, EVER ” only to find out they did. It’s gross, unbelievable, and it makes you feel like you missed something.
But, if believing the people we love are secret Judas/ Brutas is the other choice – I don’t want to be right! That’s no way to live. Expecting the best without being derailed by the worst is where the good stuff is.
It doesn’t make you dumb or naive to think people are good before they act badly. File it away, learn from it, grow in it, and carry on keeping your side of the street clean.
