I am somewhat of a hopeful person. Maybe it's that I try and see the good in everyone and that leads me to be disappointed when I finally have to close the door on people that have constantly let me down. I have tried over the years to expound my reasons for this but given my nature I struggle sometimes with the fact that I have closed the door. My mum always used to say that "My heart of gold would always get me into trouble, because people see a good person and like to take advantage" Now, I think that I am niether a good person nor do I have a heart of gold. What I do hate doing is giving up. I see the good in people and the good that they can do. I am a helper by nature and would always give the shirt off my back to help. I really do struggle with this aspect of my being. Eventually when I need or come to the decision to close the door on someone it is a decision that has not come lightly nor is it a decision that I have made without agonizing over it.
Anne Frank once wrote "It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all of my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because inspite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart."
