When what glitters appears not to be gold

Tonight is such a peaceful night, though sleep seems to be far from my eyes but I'm really enjoying myself. Here with me is my phone in my hand while I write. I'm currently listening to I'm your angel by Celine Dion. She's such a great inspiration to me and to many others like me who love her songs. I know many musicians sing according to the emotions they feel or want others to feel but I've really had an encounter with one whom I might have considered to be an angel in my life but she turned out not to be.
It is good to praise people but I come to the understanding that there are certain words which when used on someone makes them feel more highly placed and the next thing that may follow will be foolishness.


I also discovered that no matter what, a human is a human. It is not wise to place your trust on any human no matter what because surely you'll find the need or the urge to trust someone but they will definitely fail. Sometimes it also seems like for someone to die without reaching the expectations of their loved ones could also be counted as a level of failure or whatever but the fact is that humans fail.
There is no wind tonight though I closed my windows but I know just when the breeze is blowing and when it is not. The only thing I'm experiencing inside my house is cold and it's very unfortunate because tonight I had to sleep alone.
I wasn't feeling much cold before I laid down tonight still awake and listening to music but not long before I started writing to keep my mind busy and focused, I had already changed into a more thick cloth.

Reflecting on the beautiful things of life and how certain things that glitters is gold can turn out to be fake is quite intriguing. I know of a lady who has been so much in love with a young man who I've looked closely and figured out that he is not ready for marriage yet, both mentally and financially but she wouldn't agree with me.
If only she had listened, though some may appear to be angels in the form of human beings just like in the movies majorly and some in reality, there is still the tendency of one who was once better behaved to turn to werewolf.
I remember the number of times I spoke to my neighbor girl concerning what I observed about her boyfriend because she always asks me questions concerning some utterances and behaviors she notices about her boyfriend. I did my best though, I tried to tell her the truth in a way that will still give her room to make her own decision. I did not want to be the reason or the one who breaks up a relationship. I did not know how it started.

The sad thing today is that my neighbor remained with the guy and later showed me the beautiful ring on her finger. I could not help but feel pity for her that she decided to move on with the man she's in love with who is not telling her the truth she needs to know.
Not long after she packed away from the neighborhood. We've been talking on the phone ever since then at least once every two weeks or so.
I tried to be cautious not to be the one calling her so her boyfriend won't start reading meaning into our calls because I know for a fact that cheaters don't like to be cheated on and that's why they'll cage their life partners if they have the power to.
Using the word caging was not far from what she actually did to my neighbor friend, she's no longer allowed to go to her walking place ever since she became pregnant.

The engagement ring will everyone expected that soon we will be invited for marriage ceremony. There was no marriage and there was no ceremony. In fact the lady told me that ever since she got pregnant for the guy that he has all of a sudden changed completely. No more sweet names for her, no more gifts and no more pampering. A lot of things have changed, she said. I was short of words because I didn't know what to tell her. I'd already told her at the earlier stage all the things I noticed about the guy and how I understood his trait to be trouble but she will also make mention of time not being by her side due to age.
On many occasions I've put in the effort to point out other people who are doing just fine without a man in their life but she'll always tell me that it is their choice.
I actually was not surprised but the turn out of their relationship still proved a point to me and made me to be more wise knowing that some who come for a relationship today like an angel can be your worst nightmare tomorrow.

Thanks for reading.

Well, we don't have it all figured out. It's good you gave advice and equally good that you gave her room to make her own decisions.
