I used to see the best in people - that's what's gotten me into great trouble in relationships. I have not been savvy enough to those who are harmful and toxic. I've had to learn the very hard way - some very hard and very painful lessons - in being discerning. Not everyone deserves an open door, and not everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.
