People will judge you for what they don’t understand. Stay true to yourself anyway.- Treasurable Life

No image today this is me venting. I don’t write these blogs just to sound strong, I write them because the truth is heavy and I need somewhere to lay it down. For the world to know, I go through challenges like everybody else. My life isn’t polished, my heart isn’t untouchable I bleed, I break, I cry, I fight. And even though my blogs often carry lessons and reflections, at the root of it all, it’s me being human enough to say: I battle life challenges too.

When you give someone 8 years of loyalty, honesty, and trust, you expect that to mean something. You expect that your character, your sacrifices, your patience, your faithfulness will hold weight. But instead, I’m still painted as the villain. No matter how much good I gave, no matter how many times I chose to stay when I could’ve walked away, it seems like people see what they want to see.

And let me be clear I’m not perfect. I will make mistakes. That’s what makes me human. But one thing I don’t do is cheat. That’s not in my character, that’s not in my DNA, and I don’t care what lies people want to spin, I stand on that truth.

Call Me Villain

By: Treasurable Life

I gave you years you can’t replace,
Loyal hands, an honest face.
But truth gets twisted, stories bend,
And somehow I’m the villain in the end.

Not perfect, no, I’ll make mistakes,
But cheating? No that’s not my stake.
So paint me dark, rewrite my name,
I’ll wear the title, I’ll play the game.

For if your story needs a foe,
Then let it be I’ll take that role.
But deep inside I know what’s true,
The villain here was never you.

So, if a person wants to label me the villain, then maybe I need to play the part. Because here’s the raw truth: when people can’t control you, when they can’t use you, or when they can’t stand to face their own demons, they’ll flip the script and make you the bad guy. And I’m realizing, maybe being the “villain” in their story is the only way I can finally be the hero in my own.

Music has a way of saying what we can’t put into words. Tonight, it’s “Villain” by J’Calm x Emudio on repeat. There’s one part that cuts straight to my chest:

“Oh no, oh no, and now I don’t feel no more spark.
Oh no, oh no, you make me mad, call me a villain.”

That’s exactly how I feel. The spark is gone. The love is gone. And what’s left is me sitting here with a heavy heart, carrying truth the world doesn’t always want to hear.

But I’m unapologetic about it. Because this is me. Flawed, loyal, real. And if telling my truth makes me the villain in someone else’s story, then so be it. At least I know I’m not lying to myself.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. — Matthew 10:28
