Time and again, life teaches you the same lesson, one you're tired of learning. That people can change overnight. That effort can fade. That feelings are fleeting That what you believed were promises, were only made-up lies. Every time you get convinced to give people a chance, they go ahead and remind you why you shouldn't. They make you live through not just a fresh heartbreak but also all the others you encountered in the past. Every time you hurt, you aren't just recovering from that one wound - you're dealing with the baggage of all the previous times your trust and hope was shattered. And it brings you back to square one - makes you feel like no matter how many times you try, you're nowhere close to understanding how people can just turn their backs and walk away from what they claimed to once love.
