100WCGU – Week#176
Life has been rather up and down recently with the ups been fairly OK but not especially high, but the lows being at ground level. So the prompt for this week’s 100WCGU is going to tug at the emotions.
One of my experiences concerned great feelings of being let down. Not only did I feel betrayed but I felt foolish that I should have got it so wrong. Was my judgement so off kilter with the world? For goodness sake I’ve been in it for over 60 years, surely I’ve learnt something.
Anyway, I’m feeling brighter having got my butt into action but I can still feel that sadness.
The prompt for this week is:
…but I thought we were friends…
The link will close next Sunday 6th December.

Hey, don’t beat yourself up because you loved and trusted another person who ended up betraying you. It happens in this world, and we can’t always see signs and signals far enough in advance to have a warning. I’m actually a very good judge of character — in fact, I’m know for that quality among several of my friends — yet I’ve had exactly the same kinds of experiences you’ve described here, having totally missed any warning signs that someone I trusted was about to knife me in the back. As far as your judgment is concerned, I’d say you have excellent judgement, in that you have decided to make use of this experience for something good and you’ve decided to not wallow in sadness and self-pity but get up and get moving forward. You go, girl!
Oh I’m sorry to read this, hope you’re okay and if a ‘friend’ has treated you badly then it’s their loss.
