Dear Karen,

Do you ever let people down? Do you ever feel let down? Are you a perfect woman now after integration?

Jesus

Dear Jesus,

I believe, sooner or later, we’re all going to let somebody down. I’ve made many mistakes in trusting but learned a lesson each time. Life is about learning from your mistakes. No one is perfect. The difference is whether we each learn how to use the experience to make us a better, stronger person. Yes, people have let me down. I’ve let my guard down and felt the sting of betrayal. But each time I learned a valuable lesson in return.

I learned to spot false promises by paying close attention to people. That is my gift, my survivor instinct. To me, untrustworthy people will expose their lack of respect for you time and again, if you pay attention. I am attuned to wrongful doings. That doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m not vulnerable. I too have incorrectly trusted people I wanted to believe trustworthy.

Thank you for your questions.

Karen
