Personal growth

When we love someone, we believe that they mean something – and that they have a future. But life often doesn't follow the rules we imagine.

How many times have you loved someone who didn't know how to love you back? How many times have you tried, proven, waited, and hoped? And when was the last time you looked at yourself and asked yourself: why am I doing this? Why am I fighting for someone who doesn't know how to love me?

You tire yourself out slowly. Not in one step, but in thousands of small ones. When you give in a little more every day. To yourself. When you push boundaries that you promised yourself you would never do. When you keep quiet to avoid conflict. When you smile even though you feel a tear in your throat.
