second chances

I always try to find the good in people, even when there is clearly none in them. It has always been a flaw of mine. I will let people walk all over me. More than once too. I give out way to many second chances. To people that do not deserve them. Does that make me weak or does that make me strong? Or maybe that all makes me really dumb. Everyone makes dumb decisions sometimes. Everyone forgives someone that has crushed them at one point. But, when is it time to cut those people off? The people that hurt you. Maybe I am weak. Maybe I somehow believe that I need them, that I can’t be me without them. So I let them back into my life with no hesitation. But, I can also make an argument on how that makes me strong. That I am able to forgive people for hurting me. I am strong for being able to listen to their apology and let them back into my life. That can also make me really dumb of course. It’s not like I could ever forget what those people have done to me. Maybe I am just afraid of being abandoned. I always ask people how many times they will let the same person hurt them. Maybe I should start asking myself that question too.
