Don't ever attach yourself to a person, not in relationships, career, friendship, or even family. Sounds harsh, maybe even a little cold, but it works better than constantly breaking yourself. When you don't make someone your source of happiness, they can't take it away with them. It's strange hore loving someone slowly makes us dependent on them for every little feeling. Like trusting them with parts of you that don't know how to come back once they leave. One word from them can make your whole day or quietly ruin it without warning. And that kind of control? It's rarely noticed until it's already too late. Learn detachment if you actually want peace that doesn't fluctuate with someone else's moods. Don't let anyone control your emotional climate like they own the forecast. Be so rooted in yourself that your sanity isn't something others can casually shake.
