For me, the worst lie I think I've believed was the one I got from my ex-girlfriend. I remember how she always sings it to my ears that she loves me so much and will never trade my love for anything. All lies at the end😭😂. This girl stained my white at the end of the day by betraying the love I had for her.
She literally left me for another guy during a period I wasn't really stable on my feet. This girl cheated and wasn't even ashamed to say it out at the end of the day when I got angry and decided to confront her. Many people told me then that this girl was dating a particular guy that she usually calls her friend.
Which I disagreed with strongly because I trusted her so much, and it is always hard for you to believe such a thing when you're deeply in love with a person. Anything being said to me at that point was entering my right ear and passing the left one out. You can't advise a person who's in love.
Because then, when my friends were trying to advise me about the whole thing, I was laughing at them because, to me then, they literally don't know what they were saying without knowing I was the laughing stock. I even go as far as going to report them to my baby then and tell her what they said about her, and then we even laugh together and make mockery of them.
That's the more reason why I find it really, really hard to advise anyone who's in love at all. Because I've been there before, I know what I did. I even ended up beefing some of my friends then because of the whole matter. Which I regretted big time. But then, it wasn't really my fault because I was blinded by love.
I really don't have a regret, though. Because deep down, anything I did then, I did for love, and I don't see it as a thing I should regret. But then, at the same time, I don't think I will ever believe the saying,"He is just a friend again in my life". This girl literally left me for this so-called Just a friend guy.
I was more pained because this guy wasn't even her spec. But then he had money, and that alone had a way of blindfolding her from seeing the other unwanted aspect of the guy. This life, eh, in anything you do, always endeavor to be to make money and be financially stable. I wouldn't have been this pained if she went for a better version, though... LoL.
But then she went for a lesser version she wouldn't have considered on a normal day if not for the money he had. I was really so disappointed in her, but then, life happens sometimes. My reaction was quite funny because I didn't even want to believe that everything that had happened was real.
But something I'm happy about so far is that I learned not to use my past in judging other innocent people. It is really not a good thing to do. Because everyone is different, and we should always learn to treat people right now, no matter how hard we find it to let go of our past.
