I've always believed that respect is earned. I always give someone the benefit of the doubt to begin with. They have the responsibility to keep my respect. There are very few people I have ever lost respect for, and they have done nothing to gain it back. Although I find it in myself to be able to be nice and find compassion if they are in a time of need, I can't find it in myself to have respect for them as a person.
Sometimes I wonder if the way that I view this is wrong, or if I see it the right way. I have an exceptionally hard time trusting people, and I think respect is one of the greatest contributors to trust. To trust someone, and to have respect for them is giving them a peice of yourself-of your heart. Should they break that trust, it breaks that part of you.
I know this is an insanely random thing to write about, but I seem to be having a hard time with it today, and needed to vent a little bit about it.
About Me
- Nikki
- I live with my mom and two sisters, but that's about to change. I'm deciding which college to transfer to. I almost always have something sarcastic to say, and yes-it has gotten me into trouble. I have a relationship with Jesus that I continue to work at daily. Some days are easier than others, but He never promised it would be easy. I love music. I listen to a little bit of everything...excpet for bluegrass. I'll never understand how people listen to it without their ears bleeding. I hope that I am the kind of person people rely on- I like to think that I am. My biggest goal in life has recently changed. Although I still want to have kids, have a successful mariage and carreer, my greatest goal in life is to have people describe me as a person of integrity- to be known as the exact same person to everyone, to not have a different mask for different people. I absolutely love to laugh. I think it's one of the greatest tools God ever gave us. I really don't think that it's possible to be in a bad mood when people are laughing.
