Step 1: Acceptance

Men are liars. It’s a fact. Nothing about that is going to change, so I understand that it’s best to accept it. Unfortunately for the human race we have a little something called faith. Faith likes to creep into our brains while we sleep and make us believe things from people that are clearly lies. Not only is it detrimental to my continued enjoyment of life but it’s fucking irritating.

But yes, women lie too. And often, so I’m told. We’re all liars, cheats, and thieves and some take the abuse like a boxer covered in vaseline and some take it a little closer to heart. Sometimes you reach a point where tears feel unnecessary and the only justified response is anger.

This is my anger, the flow of my words is not controlled by sadness or self pity, it’s all honesty because it’s time that somebody spoke up about something. This is a game, life is a game and the better you are at playing it and playing people the more you will succeed. It’s a sad fact, something that I wish whole heartedly wasn’t true, but we all know that it is.

I'm told that the first step to recovery is acceptance. And yes, I'm well aware that this is for people who are addicted to various substances or can't accept someone's death but in it's own way I was addicted. I was addicted to the thought of a happy ending and believing that some people are good.

This is my acceptance speech, so to speak.

There are 3 signs that you may have a problem:

1. You believe people often, willingly, and get yourself caught up in emotions when they aren't returned.

2. Every person you date is 'the one'.

3. Believing in love at first sight. Usually a mental problem.

If you find that the above 3 problems keep appearing in your life then it's time for step 1.

Now, unlike most people I'm probably not going to be changing my ways and start searching for someone else. I may be sick of the games but I'm about to change the rules. It's time to start hating the player and the game and it's about to get ugly.
