People Show You Who They Are

A person is going to be exactly who they are.

By Nerissha HuntPublished about 15 hours ago 3 min read

Some people that live in their own world. Some people have others around because they serve a purpose. Other people only call or care about somebody when it’s convenient. Apparently, you have to buy love these days because its not free.

People that live in their own world think they are God. You can’t tell them anything. No one exists in the world except for them. They step all over people to get what they want. Just like they told Carolann in Poltergeist, some people need to come back to the light because its clear they are in the dark.

Some people only keep people around because they serve a purpose. A man/woman may keep another man/woman around for a place to stay. There is no love there, just existence. He/she needs a roof over their head although they are both out doing as they please and then they come home.

They probably sleep in separate rooms but they call it home. And what gets me is when one of them has the audacity to get mad at the other one for what they are doing. That’s quite stupid because if we are both doing dirt, that’s contradictory.

To add to that same subject, why does it matter if someone calls and says, I saw him/her with someone else? That person needs to find a life. Not get a life, find a life. If you have time to tell that other person “I saw him/her with so and so,” then you my friend are not miserable; you are bored and have nothing else to do. It doesn’t matter what your home life is like; you’re bored. You need some form of entertainment in your life so you want to start problems.

But the person you snitch to is getting entertainment from it. It’s because they already know what’s going on; you are confirming it. You think you are really doing something but you’re not. You think this person cares about you but they don’t. They keep you around because they need you to provide information about their significant other but you are too busy snitching to see it. That’s your purpose in their life. Sad purpose but its true.

A husband/wife has a purpose. The original purpose of getting married is the union of two people that love each other. But sometimes, there is a hidden agenda. The purpose becomes a nightmare. That spouse only got married because the woman was pregnant, they want to dominate their spouse or in some cases, they get married to make the other person happy.

In reality, that person wanted someone else. They didnt say it or show it, but they did. That's just the way the world works. I dont believe in being engaged 5+ years. You have known a person inside and out by then. If I'm not married by then, something is wrong.

Some people only call you when it’s convenient. They only call you when they want something. Let me borrow some money. Can you buy something for me? And then it may be months, sometimes years before you hear from this person again.

Some family members act convenient. This person calls you because another family member told them you were sick. You may not have heard from this person in years. They don’t call you themselves. They call you, acting concerned. Hey, I heard you were sick. What's going on? The first thought in your mind is to cuss them out.

You are pissed off because they only called after they heard you were sick. Phones work both ways. But some family members have their “picks". They check on who is important to them.

To end my story, I say this: Life is not convenient, there is a purpose for everything. God made us equal in every way so we need to stop comparing.
