it hurts to realize that sometimes the people you love can be | DeepThoughts

it hurts to realize that sometimes the people you love can be breaking you down without knowing it. it hurts when you know they don’t mean to do and say the very things that bring you down, that they aren’t trying to cause you pain. it hurts to have to walk away from unhealthy relationships when the other person doesn’t see the unhealthy side because you’ve been masking the pain in an effort to believe things will get better in time. it hurts, and it brings guilt and regret and uncertainty, but in the end, you have to do what is healthy for you and step back from harmful dynamics, otherwise you’ll just keep making excuses to stay until you lose yourself entirely.

you have to do what’s best for you, even if it’s hard.
