@ichizhaoweek Day 4 : Betrayal.
There is beauty in the martyrdom of having to save yourself from the self-justified people seeking to betray and hurt you. People who, from the very beginning, were never nice to you.
They were your very first friend nonetheless, and mistook your kindness for weakness. Where you thought you'd reach for gentleness and admiration but were only met with hatred.
How lonely would you have to be to give a chance to that shade once again?
If the reasons for their actions met your approval, would you have been satisfied and forgive them? Would you have let yourself be skinned, if they were kind enough while doing it?
You think you did nothing wrong, but when you believe yourself to be justified in your actions, what is making you any different from the people we swore we would never become? To betray your friend, your family, your Kyodai...
When you have nothing left but the broken pieces to gather and fix again, wounded, hurt and hopeless, the only gaze that matters, is of the selfless. The one that seeks to help, seeks to support and hold you strong and proud regardless of their own wounds. When everything else lets you down, let us be our own rock, let us be our own support.
Learn to trust and love once again.
