recognizing

It’s quite interesting how we consistently set standards for ourselves but we are the first ones to bend them. Why do we make them in the first place? Every relationship we encounter helps us grow and learn things so we should do better next time. Learning to recognize “red flags” or making rules for ourselves so that next time we don’t either get taken advantage of; or learn how to be in a better healthy pattern verse sometimes allowing negative behaviors to continue. So when we see this begin to happen again, why do we do it anyway? Even though we are aware of what is occurring. That is what I call hope, because we take this chance that maybe this time will be different. The question is when should we actually take these risks/opportunities/chances and when should we just know when to walk away.
