Last night, I got to witness in real time as someone good quickly turned into someone bad, simply because of what was done to her.
A friend of mine had texted me last night; she had sent me a voice note, and from her tone, I could tell she wasn't alright. She had gone ahead to explain to me that for the past three hours, she had done nothing but cry all through.
And when I asked her what happened, she had gone ahead to send about a thirty-minute-long voice note telling me about how she met a guy, a guy who at first wasn't someone she thought she would give any attention to, but as time went on, she found herself becoming attracted to him, and they began to get even more close.
Not to give away too many details, but she goes ahead to tell me about the few times she had had her suspicions about one of his female friends and how he would casually brush it aside, assuring her that they were merely just friends, only for him to call her last night (after not calling her for days) to tell her that he plans on getting married to this same lady that he had earlier told her was just a friend.
According to my friend, she wasn't even upset with him as much as she was upset with herself, because she said she saw the signs but decided to ignore them to focus more on the love than on her instinct, and that that was her biggest mistake.
But what she said towards the end of the voice note was what caught my attention; she had vowed never to be that vulnerable ever again, and that the next two or three guys that she dates in the future, she would make sure she's as heartless as she can be.
I immediately told her that wasn't right and that she would be punishing innocent people for someone else's crime. But it was after she told me about how she doesn't care if they're innocent or not and how she's done being considerate that I realize the amount of damage that has been done to this beautiful soul.
