Three strikes...

The concept of "three strikes you're out" is a good way to look at things.  The law and baseball follow this rule and do so for good reason. You're given three chances and if you choke when you're up to bat,  well than you go back to the dug out  disappointing your teammates. This is a standard I need to use in life. If you give someone to many chances they will walk all over you; that is a sign of  weakness. You are  giving someone power over you and letting them use you, which is not cool, but you have the power in this situation. If someone is treating you this way, its because you're letting them. You need to be strong, stand up for yourself, and demand people treat you right, because I'm pretty sure you treat them well.  Only give people three strikes and if they fuck up, no matter how big or small, it's time to distance yourself emotional maybe even physical from them. A smart person will realize that you won't put up with their shit and they will either treat you how you want or walk all over you, sometimes it is best to just let them go. 


You are a strong beautiful person babe. If someone is not deserving of your awesomeness, well then they shouldn't have a piece of what you're serving. In baseball, if you play your cards right when you're up at bat you can have more than three balls pitched at you, but babe this ain't baseball it's life. Time to start giving those strikes. This shouldn't just go for boys who you want to date, it should go for everyone. Because how you let people treat you, says a lot about how much you care about yourself. On this journey of finding love, how much you respect and love yourself plays a big role. So love yourself and don't take shit from anyone. Give those strikes and send to them the dug out if that is where they belong.
