It Is Time For A No Nonsense Life

I notice that when you're too friendly, too kind, and too social, people start showing you disrespect.

They take your kindness for weakness and think they can walk all over you. People start underestimating you, thinking you're soft just because you're a good person. But the moment they push you too far, they're going to see a whole different side of you, a side they ain't ready for.

If you're always being nice, always doing things for them, they'll keep expecting it. And eventually they'll think they can take advantage of you. You run over your shoes like you ain't even there. That's when you've got to step up.

You've got to step up and show them a side they've never seen before. Just because you're nice, just because you're showing love, doesn't mean you've got to tolerate their BS. Matter of fact, that saying, treat people the way you want to be treated, is BS.

I can give you mad respect, show you love all the time, but if I don't get that respect back, I ain't obligated to keep being nice. Some people don't deserve your kindness. Some people deserve to be checked.

And some people, they've got to learn the hard way what respect really means. So remember, just because you've got a good heart doesn't mean you've got to take anybody's crap.
