Excuses

It is so easy to form an excuse. 

I do not jog on a period so that I do not loose too much blood. 

I do not try diet because I have tried before and it does not work. 

I did not stand up for myself because I thought it was my fault. 

I do not do anything when people use me because I put myself int the position. 

Those are just a few of the excuses that I have told myself. 

Yesterday, I was supposed to be meeting a friend from High school. I did want to see her but it did not feel right - I wanted her to make an excuse or for me to make one. 

It looks like it will rain.

I might get a headache. 

My mum wants me to do something for her. 

The thing about these excuses are that they are all fiction and I think, why do I have to make something up that is not true to tell someone that I would rather stay at home because I literally have not been in my own house, before 6 - 7 pm for ages.

The things about excuses is that they are just thongs we tell herself.

I can jug on a period if I feel like it. 

I can diet it I try 

I can stand up for myself if I try 

Whilst I put myself in the position where someone can take advantage, I can stand up for myself and I could make people aware that I will not stand for being used.
