The more chances you give someone,

the less respect they'll start to have for you.

This was a quote I read recently

and it resonated with me a lot because I've been there.

I am the queen of giving second, third,

and fourth fucking chances

and it never ends up going well.

It's never usually a good idea.

Sometimes on very rare occasions,

I've given people second chances

and they've completely done a 180

and approved to me that they could actually be

a decent human being.

But most of the time, no, okay.

They won't acknowledge the fact

that you have legitimate standards.

If you're giving someone multiple chances,

they're not going to respect your standards that you've set

because they know you're always willing to take them back.

They know you're always willing

and give them another chance

and have another go around.
