Someone really sat in my inbox for a few months, got silent...engaged then married. Like, wow. I'll never understand some people. And that, apparently is part of why things happen the way they happen. Everything isn't meant to be understood. I wasn't upset when I found out, I actually wasn't surprised, but damn. It reminded me that some people really don't give a shit about others or realize how manipulative they are. You're not growing if you continue to do the things you've always done. Because of them, it's a tad harder for me to let my guards down initially but... I'll never give up on something I believe in. I'll never not be open to loving someone because they may or may not hurt me... at the end of the day, they will. Hurt is inevitable but I no longer bruise.
