Sometimes life teaches you in the quietest, most painful ways that the love you give won't always come back the same. You can show up with your whole heart, and still be met with distance, silence, or a shrug. Some people simply don't feel with the depth you do, and some will never recognise the value of what you offer so effortlessly. But don't let their coldness rewrite your nature. Don't let their lack turn your heart hard. Stay soft - just wiser. Stay open - just protected. Because in the end, people's behaviour speaks louder than anything they could ever say. And peace. peace arrives the moment you stop expecting your own heart to live inside someone else.
