Sometimes, life teaches us the hard way that kindness doesn't always return the way we give it. You can pour your heart into people, and still be met with silence or indifference. Not everyone loves with the same sincerity, and not everyone values what you bring. But don't let their coldness change your warmth. Stay kind, but learn to protect your peace. In the end, actions reveal truth louder than words ever could, and peace begins when you stop expecting yourself in others.
