What is one thing you would change about yourself?
How naive that I can be sometimes.
I started reading the Bible when I was a very young girl. Our parents bought us children Bible stories book and I loved the way it made me feel about people and so I would be nice to everyone. Even as I became an adult I realized very quickly people wasn’t like the stories I read in the Bible. People would always betray me or take advantage of me. I thought that everyone was suppose to be nice and kind to each other. I found out that people are people.
If I could change one thing, it would be to not be so trusting. But to be nice and kind because I want too.
Inside the mind of cree 
Amen. (No topic phrase pun intended) lol but I relate to you entirely on this! & I used to think if I just was nice & that’s all I put out-then that’s what I’d get back for sure. Well… & still i don’t know why, but a part of me is utterly amazed at how the majority of people I’ve had interactions w/ don’t think twice to screw the next person over; or me. So frustrating & such a disappointment. Keep guard always I guess. ✌️✌️

Omg!!!! Right! I just don’t understand whyyy when ppl meet nice people they treat them this way. How is it that we attract these types of people? Is it something about us? Our facial expressions? Our Spirit? I have to keep my guard up now. I’m 57 and I spend time trying with people who I love and who loves me.

But people are like those in the stories…. To me the Bible reveals our true colors. Which then leads us to want to change. I’m sorry you’ve been hurt and betrayed in the past. One thing I can share is to not take it personally, as hard as that can be. People aren’t always in the right headspace but we gotta have faith that they will find their way.

I’ve wondered about this too many times in my 34 years of life & I think that unfortunately those types of people view kindness as weakness. & in that sense, I figure they’re actions are basically survival instincts & they don’t know any other way.. still, no excuse though.
