The Bitter Truth of Life

Sometimes we go out of our way to please the people we truly love but the harder we try to make them happy, the more they hurt us and the farther away they push us. It is funny how things change in this life. We think we know how to make things work out but little do we know that it is not our endless efforts to fix things that make a difference, it’s actually how willing the people we love are to accept us for who we are and share the love we long for.

The sad truth is most people only think about themselves and their own happiness, regardless of how much they say they care about our happiness too.in my life, I have learned that if you love someone and you want to stay in their life even if they keep hurting you, you will just have to forget about your happiness or suppress your feelings and put on a smile and pretend to be happy with them in order to avoid losing them. Because when someone knows you love them so much, they start taking you for granted and threatening to leave you for the silliest things that go wrong between you and them. Unfortunately that is the way it is in most cases.

It is the rubber band theory; people chase after what they don’t have. Knowing this leaves us with the option to either stay and take whatever life throws at us …or… walk away and never look back.
