Have you ever given someone the benefit of the doubt more than once? Deep down, you know you shouldn't. In a way, you're just asking for it.
What is it about human nature that makes us want to keep believing the best in people even after they let us down?
God knows I have done that. I do that. Because deep down, beneath all the fucked up bullshit, I want to believe that people really are good inside. And that I choose to have them in my life for a reason.
The truth is people will show you exactly who they are...and what they will never be. All you have to do is pay attention.
It's taken me a tremendously long time to not only realize this, but accept that I won't be able to change it.
I can't say that I don't feel the weight of it. That pang...of disappointment.
