“I like you so much.”

— Meet Joe Black

[matchesandpapernapkins]

You meet a girl. Maybe she's pretty, maybe she's smart, maybe she's funny. Maybe your parents like her. Maybe you get really lucky, and she's one or two of those things. I got them all with you.

Joel Maisel, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, S01E08

He likes complaining, she's compromising//Coming to me for real advice when he just playing//I can tell she loves him way too deep//He loves being fucking hard to please//Cover the basics, it's pretty easy//He's a bitch with some expectations.

Because you don’t see how happy you make her. You don’t see her eyes light up around you. You don’t hear how highly she speaks of you. In fact, you don’t see her much at all. You don’t see her value. You don’t appreciate her love and her kindness. One day she’ll grow tired of trying so hard. One day she won’t have more love left to give. One day she’ll realize you aren’t worth it. And it’s going to break her heart to walk away.

Mariners Apartment Complex - Lana del Rey

You’re tired of people.

You’re tired of trusting too much only to get left behind the moment you start thinking they’re worth the risk. You’re tired of believing in promises, someone staying, someone caring, only to get your heart broken.

You’re tired of all the times you waited for a sincere “How are you?” only to find yourself disappointed because they didn’t even say “Hello.” You feel betrayed by all the people who remember only when it’s convenient or only when they need something.

You’re so fed up with all the broken promises, with all the false assurances, and with all the times you kept your hopes up only to wake up with a broken heart.

You hate yourself for always falling into their traps. For always believing that people do change as long as you have faith in them. Most of all, you hate yourself for choosing to be good and to do good even if most of the time, all you really end up with are scratches and burns.

You wish it’s easy to turn your back because to be honest, not everyone deserves your heart. You wish it’s okay to burn bridges and shut all of them out. You can, but you won’t. Because frankly, you’re too stubborn to believe that not everyone is worth it.

Yes, you’re tired of people. But that doesn’t mean you would give up on them.

And that’s what makes you different, because you still choose to go on even when you have been broken.
