The Family That Preys

As a young girl, she was constantly picked on and bullied by her older siblings because they felt as though she was spoiled and got whatever she wanted. Even though whatever she had gotten she would split to make things even. None of them knew what she went through or why she was "spoiled" growing up but it was a way for her parents to heal her childhood pain from an entirely different situation. However, the bullying got worse, her brothers went from merely nitpicking to full blown fights that later landed her to getting choked out. The life her older brothers wanted to lead was that of street thugs and they would get kicked out of school every year while she used school as a getaway from her everyday life at home. By the age of 20, she owned her own car with no payments and soon everyone wanted to be friendly. Being very naive, she took that as her opportunity to gain love that she had always desired and they jumped at the fact that she had a car. Which resulted in them using her to get around wherever they wanted to go. All of which was never for productivity in their lives. Now as a successful 25-year-old, she is the only sibling in the near area who is excelling in life. Mostly because she has spoiled them into believing that they must have a ride to get anywhere. So finally after five years she is done, and beyond tired of helping those who haven't helped themselves. To look at where their lives were then and now is mind blowing because they haven't gained anything but hatred towards her, because she's tired of trying to build anyone up because it's tearing her down. In her short five years she's gained her own everything and doesn't want for anything from anyone. Her family sees it as all the more reason to help where they're lacking. They want to see her fail at all costs, the crazy thing is that they never call unless it's for their benefit. The fact of the matter is she's not selfish, she's just not going to help anyone thats not trying to make their situation better. When her car broke down they didn't have two words to say. When she stops helping they scream, "You never did anything for me." The only person that has been around to help her was her mother who she has to take care of when her health becomes a problem. Since she's moved the word "No" to the front of her vocabulary she's had less stress. She can finally plan those trips, be a better parent and live happier!

Never let anyone take over your life, your life is precious and your body, mind, and soul are very delicate. Always feed them with positive, empowering, and inspiring energy. Understand that all great things must come to an end. Understand you can't help everyone because not everyone wants to be successful. Not everyone wants to see you do BETTER than them. Not everyone is around because they love you. To attract LOVE you must be love, you must know how to feel love. You must know how to see love. Love is a give and take! Gas money for a ride is not always a give and take. Your car needs more than gas money. Love that person enough to make them put forth their own effort because you can be here today and gone tomorrow. Love yourself enough to know that you need to focus on your own life... your needs, your wants! Your time is more precious than any amount of money, especially when you have kids!

Your better life takes courage.

A look into the life of a girl that is tired of being a pushover. She is taking back her life and wants to encourage others to do the same! You only have one life so live it well!
