Nothing protects the heart like patience. Don't get your hopes up too fast. Don't let your fears speak to loud. Don't give your doubts to much time. Not everybody is built to handle the rough times. Cant be surprised when you fall off with certain people. Few people understand what it means to really be there for somebody. And that's the roughest part about being on a journey, you realize the main ones who said they'll ride, are the first to fall off. People make promises when the sun is shining and excuses when the storm comes. That's why im always thankful for the rain... it washes away the unnecessary. The reality is, you could be amazing, genuine, and sincere, but still be overlooked. Because honestly, people dont want something real anymore, they just want reasons to complain and excuses to avoid. Having a good thing is so hard because meeting a strong person is so rare. So I've learned to respect when people run from me, I realize my kinda love ain't for everybody. I'm at peace with that.
