Loyalty

Actually there are a lot of words that describe me but I narrowed it down to two and from the two I decided to pick one and that is loyalty. The other word was dependable.

Loyal is defined as, “reliable and always true, like your trusty dog.” Well, being that trusty dog also means you get kicked many times over because loyalty doesn’t flee the coop when something or someone doesn’t show it the respect it deserves, it stays to fight another day. We are true to the core or at least I am.

I remember my ex saying this when he got caught with his cheating ways. “I knew that you would never forgive me.” Not exactly true, I did forgive him the first time but when I noticed he was a repeated offender, it was time to close the door. Even “loyalty” has its limits.

I am a loyal friend, a loyal partner and most of all loyal to myself. I also know the difference between right and wrong and that helps in my journey as a loyal and faithful person.

  1. Your definition of loyalty is so powerful — it’s not just about standing by others but knowing when to stand up for yourself, too. I admire how you balance forgiveness with self-respect, recognizing that even loyalty has its limits. Your strength and sense of integrity shine through every word.

    1. Thank you so much but it didn’t come easily. I think learning to stand up for yourself comes from falling flat on your face first. I did that many times over but I am stronger now knowing when to let go and to move on. Still not easy. It takes strength to do that. Thank you again.
