It’s not okay | It’s not okay | It’s not okay

We seem to be going through a wave… a wave where we forgive, we forget, we believe, we hold on, we try, we understand, we allow and we deny. We tell ourselves that ‘He was having a bad day so he said what he said — he doesn’t mean it’ or ‘I should be the bigger person and forgive this — I’m sure she won’t do it again’ or ‘This is not who they are — they’ll change and I know it’ or ‘Oh, at least he’s better than ex’.

We let people treat us unfairly. We let people disrespect us. We let people walk all over us. We let people neglect us.

We let it happen because we are hopeful. We are hopeful that someone will change. We are hopeful that something will change. We are hopeful that it will get better.

We tell ourselves that it’s okay… that it will be okay…
Well, it’s not okay. It’s not okay. It’s not okay.
