Things that were hard to accept 1. Your expectations are just that. Your expectations. People are not obligated to live up to them or abide by them. Even if they are in certain cases obligated to do so, there is no guarantee that they will. So donāt base your plans on that. And donāt base your life on that. 2. You can walk away. But so can they. You can be hurt and you can be mad. But they will still walk away. They have that option. They can exercise that choice. People can get toxic for you. Believe it or not, so can you. 3. People have bullied you. And teased you. And judged you. But the person judging you constantly and the most harshly is you yourself. 4. They donāt respect you because you donāt respect yourself. 5. Not letting go is only keeping you sad and frustrated and stuck. They are unaffected. They are living their life wonderfully. They are free. 6. Taking care of yourself takes effort. Itās not just good feel quotes and pretty aesthetics. Itās work. A lot of work. Itās doing things that take time and sometimes itās doing things you donāt want to do. 7. Itās gone. The past. You can regret as much as you like. But youāre only wasting more time. 8. Sometimes you are going to use the word love even though you donāt 100% want to. Itās because like is too little and there is no word in between. Itās because we use the same word for fries and for people. Itās because love means so many different things to every individual. Itās because you do love them. In one of those several meanings. 9. Sometimes you have to suck it up. Itās okay. Not every situation is meant for you to show your ātrue courageā or real feelings.
