I used to believe everyone was full of light and goodness in their heart. In some cases I still believe that. But there once was a boy many years ago who deceived me. I knew he was evil, he treated others disrespectfully, and made others feel uncomfortable. But I felt that if I were to befriend him; I could help him. There were many times that I had thought that I caught a glimpse of light, of kindness. Times where I thought that I had seen a change in his behavior. I let him hold my hand and tie a blindfold over my eyes. I let him lead me on a dark path; he guided me, and when I voiced my fears he only laughed. He left me alone in the dark and when I called out to him, hoping his light would shine, I was only left in darkness. I trusted him and he abandoned me. As people we feel the need to reach out to someone and try to change them for the better. We’re naive in that aspect. You cannot change anyone no matter how hard you try. In the end the only one who can change themselves; is them. Don’t hurt yourself trying to make someone else feel or be better.
