Don't cage yourself. You got to read this
I've come to realize that some people are not worthy enough to cry for. Some people doesn't deserve even just a single drop of my tears. It doesn't mean they're worthless, but I just know now that if I invest too much time for the wrong people, my time will just be wasted. Now I know where my place is, and that is away from people who failed to see my worth.
Not all people you love can love you back. Not all people you respect can respect you too. You cannot expect all people to care for you as well as you can't make them want you. And sometimes, some people just can't stop hurting you. So I've realized that even if I try tearing myself down, they will never come to fix me. Self-destruction won't change them. Hating myself won't make them love me. Not taking care of myself won't make them care for me. I can't change them, so I am bound to change myself to become better than the person that they tried to mistreat and took for granted.
I realized that some people are not worth begging to stay. Some people are not worth chasing to come back. Some people are not worth fighting for. Most of them have received everything from me but I never knew that they don't even deserve anything from me. Some people deserve to be treated well but not worthy to be loved. Some people deserve forgiveness but not worth giving another chance. Some people deserve acceptance but not worthy to be kept.
Some people are worth letting go. And that, my Darling, is worth moving on.
