Being the naive one



Apparently, I’ve been told I am naive.

As in, I would believe anything and everything that people tell me, and I am most likely to be taken advantage off. Naive is generally not meant to be complimentary. I’m young, yes. Naive, maybe. You see, I see the good in all people. If someone has done me no wrong, I would never say a mean word about them. I am generally a happy and positive person. Yes, I am well aware of the evil, cruel world outside and that you cannot trust anyone on the street besides your family. The newspaper, TV and radio are constantly filled with sad negative stories everyday. Yes, I am well aware of all this.

But I choose to see the sunny side of things. I’ve learned to see the good in person from all walks of life. I know when I am being taken advantage off and I know when to walk away from these people. If I sense that someone is being manipulative and deceiving, I would keep my guard up and stay closed off.  I know I still have ALOT to learn and perhaps, life will throw me a few curveballs. But I would never stop seeing the good in people because sometimes we should focus on the positive side of things.
