There appears to be a stereotype. The one that classifies the good girl who always goes for the broken guys. Apparently I fall into that category, and honestly... my track record doesn't reflect anything but. What can i say... I like to fix things! Relationships scare me for a lot of reasons but yet... i seem to be so fearless at the same time. These reasons I would have to take a whole other post to list and explain so I won't go there tonight.
Its absolutely true. Ask my friends. The majority of the guys I find myself attracted to have issues (some worse then others) and need me... or at least I would like to think they do. The problem is that I mildly suffer from what my pastor calls a "savour complex" or commonly known as the "superman complex" which basically means I want to fix things. I'm not exactly an extremest like what Wikipedia defines.
Its a wonderful gift to have but as I've come to see the responsibilities that comes with it, I've been slowly learning a few key things.
- Everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves, no exceptions.
- God will put people in your life. Its up to us to respond.
- Every single person has the choice to turn their lives around... even when they feel stuck, but if no one will give them a shot, offer them forgiveness and and a chance, then they really are stuck.
- Its tough, but sometime you have to know when to stop "beating a dead horse". Not everyone wants to change.
- There is a line. A critical line of which you have to be careful when crossing. Indulging in a relationship with someone who is emotionally or in general a mess can damage and compromise their progress.
That about sums it up. Its what I've learn first hand and through friends this summer and I just hope I will be smart enough to use what I have learnt. Life is full of change and people can surprise you!
