My Greatest Gift and Biggest Weakness

My Greatest Gift and Biggest Weakness I recall my parents warning me, I was a little dense. That my greatest gift and biggest weakness was that I trusted so easily. My uniqueness lies in the manner that I never take offence. I've trusted and have been taken for a fool yet each time I find myself trusting again, life's a sham. It's a weakness, a flaw, and yet it's who I am. I constantly put myself in predicaments to be plied like a tool. My first high school football game was also my last. My friends convinced me to sneak off, "We'll have a blast." Whilst outside we strolled around chatting. When it came time to go back in, they stood laughing. I felt awful. I was played for a fool. Shortly after my parents took me out of school. 8/26/2018 True story

Don't know whether this is fiction or not, dear, but I also am too trusting. Shame on the world for fooling...never shame on us for trusting. Thanks for your visit to Be Silent. I've been away for a while, but hope to be back soon. Hugs
