Temporary

I don’t think I can get used to the idea of everyone in our lives being seasonal… But it just seems like that’s always the case. Everyone’s love is conditional and it’s just a matter of time before I’m no longer needed or exciting. Before I become nothing more then a burden. Doesn’t matter what approach I take or how hard I try to show someone how much I truly care. I guess the best approach seems to be to not even allow the opportunity to hurt me from the start.

Tired of waisting my time on things that are leavin

Happens the same to me, but sometimes I like to hope that we can find the right people someday

We put up walls to keep from getting hurt by others and tackled by our depression, but it's lonely when you are the only one on the other side of that wall, especially for years on end. Before long you find that the only one sitting beside you is that depression. The people who really care about you will take the time to get past that wall.

I can't advise you not to put that wall up because heck, I've been doing it for a long time myself. I will say however that if you can and when you are ready again, maybe try to make sure you are giving them a little time to find their way over it, otherwise you will never know who is really going to stay.

Just my take on the matter. I'm sorry people have been causing you pain. Good luck, Suzzze.

This world is full of imperfect people. We disappoint each other far more often than we'd like, and sometimes it's while we have the best of intentions. I know it can feel cold out there. I've been hurt by people who I believed were my partners in crime, only to be ghosted by them. But I think this world needs people who are willing to go out and love other people even when it feels like the odds are stacked against love. And I think it gets lonely when you shut people out because of that. And honestly, I know I can't speak for you, but for me? I've noticed that when people are removed from my life, there was a bigger picture I was missing while I was upset about it. I think we grow and we change and people leaving can create a place for the right people for you to enter. Hoping and praying that's the same for you.
