Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

In life things are not always as they seem, there are some people whose intentions are not honorable who try to paint a rosy picture to distract, or hide the truth to achieve a hidden agenda. These people have an uncanny ability to sense weakness and naivety,  preying on the people that they perceive as weak and innocent. We may all start out believing a person has good intentions, but that illusion can be tainted due to a bad experience. They say “you live and you learn”, but sometimes the lesson comes too late to make a difference in a particular situation, as a result the deceived may find it hard to forgive them-self, because of their gullible nature at the time. In my book “Why Ruin Another Life” the character Marva sees an opportunity that she thinks will better her life, but later learns all opportunities are not golden ones. Over time she see’s the people that she thought were there for her are not what they pretended to be, and forever blames herself for her bad decision making. We always must be mindful that things are not what they appear to be, remember a wolf  can be disguised in sheep’s clothing.

 

 

 

The Haunting

It’s been said that everyone deserves a second chance. It’s also been said that there’s always an exception to the rule. In both cases one can safely say that it would have to depend on the circumstances and the connection that one had with that person. They also say forgive and forget, as if that knife that you have to pull out of your back slides right out. But when someone is hurt it’s only natural that a person will need time to heal.  Another popular saying is “time heals all wounds”, but even with the smallest of wounds there will always be some type of a scar left. In my book “Why Ruin Another Life” the character Marva’s wound is so deep that she finds it so hard to forget the terrible thing that befell on someone she loved and to forgive her role in this incident. She thinks the solution is to hide the secret that could potentially set her free, not realizing that skeletons left in the closet will haunt you for the rest of your life.
