Sometimes you have to give up on people. Not because you don’t care, but because they don’t.
“Right now you might not feel the best you’ve ever felt, you might feel that things will never get better. But don’t give up. Tomorrow you might see something wonderful. The thing you’re worrying about may be resolved, You might have a good day tomorrow, you may smile. In a few years time the things that are making you feel like this will be forgotten about.”
I think that what hurts most is when you give everything to someone. You are there for them through thick and thin. You stick with them no matter what comes along. And then one day, they just give up on you. They choose not to fight for you anymore. The one thing you would never have done to them, they do, without one bit of hesitation.
When you love something, you don’t threaten it. You don’t punish it. You fight for it. You take care of it. You put it first.

I am slowly learning that some people are not good for me, no matter how much I love them. I deserve someone who is gentle and kind, because my soul is getting tired. Realizing that I deserve something good is one of the first steps.
