Pay attention to what people think they can get away with when it comes to how you are treated. Respect is everything in a world where basic human decency seems to be sorely lacking. Allow for chances, but don't turn a blind eye to patterns because some know what they are doing and how their actions are appearing. In my world, the door doesn't remain open for opportunists and malicious spirits. I will be judged, misunderstood, and talked about before I am disrespected. I have not endured the most ruthless of healing journeys to be set back by those who refuse to confront their cruelty and disregard for others. I believe in treating others how you want to be treated, not meddling with livelihoods because you think it will go unaddressed. Some people rely on passivity, not knowing you will remove yourself from the situation real quick. Pt1
