We go out with people to get over someone else, but when we find out we were used we think it’s unfair. I’ve said I loved someone when I didn’t mean it. I’ve thrown around the word forever. I physically can’t tell someone I don’t want to see them again, even if I don’t. I can’t allow myself to hurt people the way I hate to be hurt, even if it’s better for them than what ends up happening. I never said I did things right; sometimes I don’t do the things I’m supposed to at all. But I’ve never used myself as a role model. I know I’ve given advice that I couldn’t follow myself, and I’m sure we all have done some combination of similar things, yet we don’t expect to be on the other end of it. We feel we don’t deserve to be hurt, yet we continue to hurt other people. I believe our greatest flaw as humans is we expect honestly from people we aren’t honest with.
