It is the sweetest of sentiments, often, when someone truly lies to protect your feelings. But I also find this to be the more rare thing. The more common lie is not really about you or your feelings at all. It is about them trying to avoid the impact of your feelings. That is a completely different thing. The former is truly caring about you, does not want to see you hurt. The latter does not want to be caught, to feel your anger, to be seen negatively, to be known for what a scumbag they really are, to be known for who they are. Yeah. That is the more common lie.
I know it's an incredibly sad situation, but it's also a bit ironic - they wanted to see the Titanic like no one else ever has. Now they get to meet the original passengers.
I was in a not so great relationship for a very long time. I thought I was happy and that he was my missing puzzle piece. I thought if we ever broke up I would be devastated and never be truly happy again. Thought I would always have that weird empty feeling there.
Well... we have been broken up for over a month now, sure it still hurts and I am working through it, but the more I am healing, the more I am moving on and really think back on things. I was never truly happy. That relationship was the definition of toxic and I'm pretty sure I just liked the company more then anything. That was not love. It was me clinging on to false hope and on to a person who was actual poison.
I am happier now.
Don't be blinded by desire for something. Don't try to make something work that in reality is not meant to be. Listen to all those red flags or you will just get hurt and waste your time.
It's that time of year - I always remember overhearing a conversation where someone said, "They were proud to be American, because other countries don't have a 4th of July."
I thought, "I'm pretty sure they still do."
Why do people interfere? She’s pulls you along, ensures you’re in her pocket gives you hope and then leaves. We are left in her wake with broken dreams and friendships.
There are some that will always understand the ups and downs. How can you laugh and be completely empty inside. I get it. There’s lots of us that do. You are not alone.
