Giving someone your heart who then CHOOSES to abuse it doesn’t make YOU stupid…⠀
⠀
It means you were hopeful… ⠀
and hope is everything.⠀
⠀
Sure, you could have told yourself you knew better,⠀
listened to the red flags,⠀
but people generally opt for giving people a chance.⠀
We WANT to believe it!⠀
⠀
Innocent until proven guilty…⠀
⠀
The Universe truly does WANT us ALL to thrive… but, it won’t happen if you only use your previous pain for sabotage.⠀
⠀
That false hope led me to higher heights than I ever knew…. never had even imagined being possible for me.⠀
I had everything, even if it was all in my head.⠀
And I’d do it all over again.⠀
⠀
Sure, it hurt like fucking hell had gouged me through the heart, personally.⠀
But “smooth seas never made for a skilled sailor.”⠀
⠀
Don’t lose your hope for a better world, ⠀
or a better you.⠀
⠀
Don’t let other people’s pain and bitterness harden your heart, it won’t do you any good.⠀
⠀
Protecting yourself from feeling is like living inside a glass bubble… and where is the fun in that?⠀
⠀
Life can be an uphill battle…⠀
and sure, some heavy ass rocks might fall on your delicate head when you’re climbing up a ridiculous mountain…⠀
and it will fucking hurt like a mf and make you want to quit.⠀
⠀
But you will get there,⠀
and it will be that much more rewarding.⠀
⠀
Don’t beat yourself up for seeing what others don’t,⠀
or for believing what others simply won’t.⠀
⠀
Just keep going. You WILL make it… I promise you.⠀
Even if it is against all odds…
