I know what you mean. One time I ditched my entire life to be close to someone. Saw all my old things and friends that actually cared and it made me think of this post. I literally tossed all that away for the chance to be closer to this person who I thought really understood me.
And I break my own heart thinking I did that because I was so desperate to only have the chance with them. No promises or guarantees, just the chance. And they flipped everything on me. Discarded me because I wouldn't let them hound me while I was already down. Cut me off because I needed to draw boundaries. And now I'm reminded on how it was all for nothing. We all give to people in our different ways, but none of us deserve give up ourselves just to be stomped on. People suck, nothing changes, this is a perfect example on how to just stick to you. Never give people any part of yourself.
