too busy building their own castles they'll tell you they care but when you fall their backs will turn quicker than the wind on a stormy night you've heard the saying don't trust a smiling face haven't you there's wisdom in that smiles are masks layers of paint covering up the cracks underneath people will wear the brightest kindest mask to hide the darkness festering inside them but you you've got to be sharper than their deceit don't let their words wrap around your heart like ch pains you've got to be the one who sees through the fog who

watches what they do it's easy to say I love you but it's harder to prove it when love means sacrifice remember this actions have no Shadows to hide behind you think you know someone because they smile at you because they say they care nah words are cheap a liar will swear on their life with the same breath they use to shatter yours you want to survive out here trust what you see not what you hear let me tell you a little secret about this Twisted world of ours people love to play roles they're actors in

a script they've written to manipulate you they'll smile when they stab you in the back cry crocodile tears when they crush your spirit but actions actions are raw they're unfiltered you can't fake consistency a hand that feeds you today but slaps you tomorrow that's not love that's control you remember that guy who said he'd always have your back where is he now gone and that girl who said she'd never leave oh she's probably laughing with someone else but you you're here picking up the pieces always picking up the pieces doesn't that make you wonder if

they truly cared why would you you be the one cleaning up the mess they left behind actions watch them closely a person who says they care will show up when it matters not just when it's convenient they'll fight for you when the world's against you not vanish when things get tough if their love is conditional it's not love it's a transaction let me explain it real simple you ever heard of wolves in sheep's clothing that's what you've been dealing with people wear masks to hide their real faces they tell you what you want to hear

feed you Illusions and when they're done using you they'll toss you aside like yesterday's trash you ever notice how they only show up when they need something how they're your best friend when they're desperate but when you're the one in need they're nowhere to be found that's who they really are people's actions in your darkest moments reveal their true colors remember that it's the ugliest truths that shine brightest when the lights go out you want to know the funny thing you let them do this to you yeah I said it you let them in gave

them the keys to your soul and now you're surprised they trashed the place you've got to stop being so naive stop expecting honesty from dishonest people stop giving love to those who only know how to take you're not weak for caring but you're foolish for thinking everyone deserves it some people don't deserve your time your trust or your tears save those for the rare few who prove themselves worthy not through their words but through their actions take a good look around who's still standing beside you who's been there through the storms not just the sunshine

that's your real Circle it's small isn't it maybe one two people and that's okay quality over quantity kid a thousand fake Smiles aren't worth one genuine hug people are going to tell you to forgive and forget let bygones be bygones right wrong forgive if you must but don't forget remember who left you bleeding and who helped you heal keep those lessons close because the world will keep testing you and if you don't learn you'll keep falling you want power real power it's not about money or control it's about Clarity the ability to see through the

lies to read people like open books when you stop listening to their words and start watching their actions you become un Untouchable no one can deceive you no one can hurt you trust what you see actions don't lie a person who cares will move mountains for you a person who doesn't will give excuses it's that simple don't complicate it you've got a choice now you can keep letting people people walk all over you keep falling for their tricks or you can wake up open your eyes start living by what you see not what you hear

it's going to hurt you're going to lose people but let me tell you something losing fake friends is a blessing not a curse trust me kid I've been down that road I've been lied to betrayed left for dead and every time I came back stronger sharper because I stopped listening to their lies and started watching their moves it's a brutal way to live but it's real and in this world real is all that matters what's a it going to be keep living in their Illusions or start seeing the truth the choice is yours just remember

actions reveal True Colors always have always will you know what your biggest problem is you're too afraid to let go you hold on to people like their life rafts even when they're the ones sinking you you keep making excuses for them don't you oh they're just going through something oh they didn't mean it lies all lies you're lying to yourself to avoid facing the truth that they don't care about you the way you care about them you want to know what happens when you let people like that stay in your life they brain you they

take everything you've got and leave you empty and then when you have nothing left to give they disappear like Shadows when the sun comes up you're left standing there wondering where you went wrong let me save you the trouble your mistake was letting them in you think people change let me tell you something about change real change is rare people don't change because you love them they don't change because you forgive them they change because they hit rock bottom because life breaks them so badly they have no choice but to rebuild and even then it's

not guaranteed so stop waiting wasting your time hoping they'll be different they won't not for you not for anyone let me give you an example picture a snake it sheds its skin right looks fresh new Reborn but it's still a snake still venomous that's people for you they might change their behavior put on a new act but underneath same old poison you've got to learn to see the snake for what it is not what it pretends to be and when you do you've got two choices cut it out of your life or keep letting it

bite you but don't come crying when the Venom spreads that's on you you you think I don't know what it's like I've been where you are trusted people I shouldn't have believe their lies forgave their betrayals and every time they proved me wrong every time they showed me who they really were it took me a while but I learned you can't fix people you can't save them and you sure as hell can't trust them until they prove themselves not once not twice every single time you've got a good heart that's your problem you want to

see the best in people even when they show you their worst but listen to me a good heart in a cruel world is like a candle in a hurricane it won't last unless you protect it guard it and that means being ruthless with who you let in you think being kind makes you strong no kindness without boundaries makes you weak people see your kindness and they take advantage of it they'll use you bleed you dry and then toss you aside when you've got nothing left to give strength isn't about how much you can take it's

about how much you can protect yourself from how much you can say no how much you can walk away let me give you another example picture a bridge strong sturdy built to carry weight but what happens when too many people people walk over it too many trucks pass through it cracks it collapses that's you you're the bridge carrying everyone else's weight ignoring your own cracks one day you're going to collapse and when you do don't expect anyone to stick around to rebuild you they'll just find another Bridge you need to wake up stop being their

Bridge stop being their safety net if they can't stand on their own that's their problem not yours you're not a charity you're not a punching bag you're a person and you deserve people who lift you up not drag you down and here's the harsh truth most people don't care about you not really they care about what you can do for them they care about how you make them feel how you fit into their plans the moment you stop being useful you'll see their true colors and trust me those colors aren't pretty you want a life

lesson here it is trust actions not words words are easy easy actions take effort a friend who says they'll be there for you watch what they do when you need them a lover who promises forever see if their actions match their promises if they don't walk away no excuses no Second Chances because let me tell you something every second you spend on the wrong people as a second you could be spending on yourself building yourself up finding the right people the ones who will fight for you not against you I know it's hard letting go

is painful it feels like cutting off a piece of yourself but sometimes it's the only way to survive the only way to grow because the truth is not everyone deserves a seat at your table not everyone deserves your trust your love your time take a good hard look at the people in your life watch their actions see who they really are and if they don't match their words if they don't prove themselves through what they do then you know what to do trust what you see not what you hear actions reveal True Colors always have

always will you know there's a reason people don't want you to see the truth it's because the truth is ugly it's raw it exposes the lies they've built their lives on most people they're terrified of being seen for who they really are that's why they wear masks why they spin stories and dress themselves in pretty words but you you've got a choice you can keep pretending keep living in their world of Make Believe or you can rip the mask off and see the monster underneath it's not easy it never is seeing people for who they

really are it'll tear you apart you'll start questioning everything every word they said every promise they made but that pain that's the price of freedom the cost of clarity and trust me it's worth it do you remember the first time someone lied to you maybe it was small something innocent a white lie they called it but it planted a seed didn't it that first betrayal no matter how small left a scar and over time those scars added up when one by one they turned you into what you are now a skeptic a cynic and that's

a good thing that's Survival you think it's wrong to doubt people to question their motives let me tell you something doubt isn't weakness it's strength It's Your Instinct telling you to be careful to protect yourself and ignoring it that's the real weakness you want to know what makes people dangerous it's not their strength their intelligence or even their power it's their ability to manipulate to make you doubt yourself while they pull the strings and the only way to fight back is to stop playing their Game Stop Believing their lies stop letting their words control you

take this as a rule actions don't lie a person who truly cares about you will show it not just say it they'll prove it every day not just when it's convenient and if they don't cut them off no hesitation no regrets because holding on to toxic people it's like drinking poison and expecting them to die it doesn't work it never will I get it you want to believe in people you want to think they're good that they care that they mean what they say but the truth is most people only care about themselves and when

it comes down to it they'll choose their own Comfort over your well-being every time that's just human nature stop giving people the benefit of the doubt stop waiting for them to change they won't they'll keep using you keep taking from you until there's nothing left and then they'll leave and you'll be standing there wondering why you weren't enough but it's not about you it never was it's about them their greed their selfishness their inability to appreciate what they have you know what the real tragedy is you've got a heart bigger than most you care more

you give more you love more and that's why they target you they see your kindness as weakness your generosity as an opportunity but it's not weakness it's strength and if you learn to protect it no one will be able to touch you you don't have to stop caring you don't have to stop loving but you do have to be smarter about who you give those things to not everyone deserves your heart not everyone deserves your time and the ones who do they'll prove it not with words but with actions every single time you think you

owe people something you don't you owe it to yourself to protect your peace your happiness your life you don't owe anyone explanations excuses or second chances if someone shows you who they really are believe them the first time don't wait for them to hurt you again don't let them back in and if they call you cold if they say you've changed good let them because you're not here to please anyone you're not here to be their doormat their punching bag their safety net you're here to live to thrive and if that means cutting people off

so be it you know what they say fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me well I don't believe in shame not anymore you don't owe anyone your trust trust is earned not given and if someone doesn't earn it they don't deserve it it's that simple but here's the kicker when you start living like this when you start putting yourself first people are going to hate it they're going to call you selfish arrogant heartless let them their opinion doesn't matter their words don't matter only their actions do and if their actions

don't match their words you already know what to do this world is full of liars manipulators and users but it's also full of Warriors survivors and Fighters and you you're one of the fighters you've been through hell and back and you're still standing that's not weakness that's strength and as long as you keep trusting what you see not what you hear you'll keep surviving you'll keep winning remember this actions reveal truth colors always have always will trust what you see and never ever let anyone take that away from you you're probably sitting there thinking look

but what if I'm wrong about them what if I'm being too harsh let me tell you something kid second chances they're a luxury a rare precious thing that only a handful of people deserve most don't even deserve the first chance you gave them so stop doubting yourself stop making excuses for people who've already shown you their true nature here's a little game I like to play call their Bluff take away what they want from you and see what's left if someone sticks around when they're not benefiting from you when they're not using you then maybe

just maybe they're real but nine times out of 10 they'll vanish the second they can't take anymore and when they do don't chase them don't beg let them leave because their departure is their confession let me paint you a picture imagine you're drowning in the middle of the ocean gasping for air struggling to stay afloat you call out for help and someone reaches out a hand relief washes over you but just as you grab their hand they pull you under using you as a step to save themselves that's how most people operate they'll pretend to

save you while using your pain as a platform for their own gain and you you let it happen you convince yourself they're your savior your friend your family but the truth the truth is they were never there for you they were there for themselves you want to know what I've learned about this world most people don't love you they love what you can do for them they don't see you they see an opportunity and the moment you stop giving the moment you stop bending over backward to please them they'll turn on you like wolves circling

their prey and the worst part they'll blame you for it they'll make you feel guilty for putting yourself first first for finally saying no don't fall for it don't let their manipulation drag you back into the cycle you've got to be stronger than that you've got to stand your ground even when it feels like the whole world is against you let me tell you about power real power it's not about money control or dominance it's about Freedom the freedom to walk away from anyone and anything that no longer serves you the freedom to choose yourself

over and over again without apology that's what scares them that's why they try so hard to keep you in their Web of Lies and false promises because a person who knows their worth a person who can walk away that's Unstoppable you want to know who's really in your corner pay attention to who claps for you when you succeed pay attention to who's there when you've got nothing left to give those are your people not the ones who show up for the the good times but the ones who stick around during the bad and trust me

that list it's going to be short painfully short but that's okay because a small circle of real ones is worth more than a stadium full of fakes and here's the kicker you don't need anyone's permission to cut people off you don't owe anyone an explanation for protecting your peace if someone doesn't align with your vision if they're not helping you grow let them go and if they call you cold ruthless selfish good wear it like a badge of honor because the people who truly care won't need explanations they'll understand I know it's lonely cutting people

off walking away standing on your own it's lonely as hell but let me tell you something about loneliness it's better to be alone in truth than surrounded by lies it's better to stand alone in your power than M the kneel in the shadow of someone else's manipulation and when you Embrace that when you learn to find strength in your solitude no one can touch you because here's the thing about Darkness it's where you find yourself it's where you strip away the lies the Illusions the masks and see who you really are and once you know

yourself once you accept yourself the world's games don't matter anymore trust what you see not what you hear watch their actions not their words and when they show you their true colors believe them the first time don't wait for a second betrayal don't give them the chance to break you again because in this world it's not the kind hearted who survive it's the ones who see the truth who guard their hearts who trust their instincts be one of them be the one who knows their worth be the one who can walk away and when you

do you'll see the world for what it really is a stage full of masks but none of them matter because the only truth that matters is the one you carry within you think you've got time to waste on the wrong people you don't time is the one thing you can't get back it doesn't matter how much money you make how many apologies you hear or how many promises they break every second you spend on someone who doesn't value you is a second you've lost forever and let me tell you something those seconds they add up

one day you'll wake up and realize you've spent years on people who never deserved a moment but here's the kicker it's not just your time they're stealing it's your energy your peace your confidence Every Lie they tell every betrayal every time they let you down it chips away at you little by little they're tearing pieces out of you until there's nothing left but a hollow shell and the worst part you let them you let let them because you're too scared to be alone oh I know all about that fear the fear of being alone of

having no one to turn to it's what keeps you clinging to people who've already shown you their true colors it's what makes you stay when you should leave forgive when you should walk away but let me tell you something loneliness isn't the enemy the enemy is the fake Company You Keep to avoid it you've got to stop running from Solitude start embracing it because when you're alone truly alone you learn who you are you figure out what you want what you need what you'll no longer tolerate and that knowledge that's power that's the kind of

power that scares people because a person who's comfortable being alone can't be manipulated they can't be controlled they don't need anyone else to complete them I know what you're thinking what if I make the wrong choice what if I let the wrong person go but let me ask you this what's the cost of keeping them how many more nights will you spend wondering if they really care how many more chances will you give them to prove what you already know in your gut you think you're sparing yourself Pain by holding on but all you're doing

is delaying the inevit people don't change because you love them they change because they choose to and if someone hasn't chosen to change by now they're not going to not for you not for anyone so stop waiting for the apology you'll never get stop hoping for the miracle that isn't coming let them go not for them but for you you've heard the saying fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me but what about the third time the fourth how many times are you going to let someone make a fool out of

you before you finally get it before you finally say enough is enough because here's the thing every time you forgive someone who hasn't earned it you're teaching them that their behavior is acceptable you're teaching them that they can hurt you betray you abandon in you and you'll still be there waiting with open arms and that that's not kindness that's self-destruction you're not a doormat you're not a punching bag you're not some project for broken people to fix themselves on you're a human being with value with worth and if someone doesn't see that if someone doesn't

treat you like the Treasure You Are then they don't deserve you period and don't give me that but I love them nonsense love isn't a prison love doesn't make you weak if someone truly loves you they'll show it through their actions not just their words they'll fight for you not against you they'll lift you up not drag you down and if they're not do doing that then it's not love it's manipulation it's control and you deserve better you're stronger than you think you've survived things that would have broken most people you've faced betrayal heartbreak disappointment

and you're still here still standing that's not weakness that's resilience that's strength and it's time you started acting like it stop letting people take advantage of you stop giving to those who only know how to take stop sacrificing your happiness for someone who wouldn't do the same for you you owe it to yourself to be ruthless not cruel not cold but ruthless in protecting your peace your energy your life you've got a choice to make keep living for others keep sacrificing yourself on the altar of their lies or start living for yourself start putting yourself

first start trusting what you see not what you hear cuz actions reveal true colors and those colors they never lie so what's it going to be keep drowning in their Illusions or rise above it all the answer is simple but the choice that's yours and whatever you decide just remember one thing trust is earned not given and once it's broken it's gone forever
