Beloved Blog Post #5


Her father's daughter after all, Denver decided to do the necessary. Decided to stop relying on kindness to leave something on the stump. She would hire herself out somewhere, and although she was afraid to leave Sethe and Beloved alone all day not knowing what calamity either one of them would create, she came to realize that her presence in that house had no influence on what either woman did. She kept them alive and they ignored her.


Feeling not wanted by your own family is a cruel hurt to the heart. It's kind of like being in a room full of people talking away trying to make conversation and nobody's listening. Living in a fantasy world trying to understand if you'll get anyone to ever appreciate you as a person. Kind of like having the heart of a guardian angel guiding, leading, trusting, advising, providing knowledge, courage, proudness, dedication, hope not even a thank you. So it's time for that person to move on leave find what makes them happy. Developing tougher skin and not just letting the world walk all over you like a door mat even in families trying to stay and help for the longest time and not ever getting a thank you weather it's with parents or siblings even both.


There's really no solid answer for why people behave this way no appreciation no thank you show no gratefulness just shellfish. Maybe that's the way some people were raised to show no appreciation they live their lives seeing other people doing and think it's ok for them to do it. Taking care of someone in a caring and loving way is a lot of responsibility then finding out your presence in the home was useless seemed like nothing but a waste of that persons time.
