Rose colored glasses...

Something about me is that I tend to see people through rose colored glasses, or at least I come off like I do. I do, to a point. I recognize that everyone has faults, but I do ften choose not to focus on those faults. Something that has stopped with me is allowing faults or issues that I consider "deal breakers" to go unmentioned, or to be reduced by the possessor of the fault to a "no biggie" status.

I am not perfect. I can be impatient, indecisive at times, and take too many things personally at first. I am also very hard on myself in regards to how I see myself, my body, my flaws, things I am working to change.

I do believe the happiness I want exists. I have found a greater happiness within myself than I ever thought I would.

I do see the best in people, I do. I can't help it. I want to believe the best in humanity, even though I am fully aware that evil abounds in our society. I trust people, I want to see the good in them. I don't trust everyone, but I am somewhat naive in faith in people. I give of myself to those that may or may not be genuine. Either it works out and I am all the better for it, or my heart gets broken and I work my way through the pain. Either way, it is always a learning experience for me.

I think I have been hurt a lot in my life. Honestly, I would think that after all I have been through my attitude would be crap by now, so the fact that I have a relatively upbeat, positive nature is saying something.

So, I will continue to see people through rose colored glasses...but rest assured their faults and flaws are noticed...just not harped on unless need be.
