@.a.a.v1: I used to believe that honesty and loyalty were enough to keep people close. I thought that if I stood beside someone during their darkest days, they would stand beside me during mine. I gave my time, my trust, and parts of my heart without asking for anything in return. But life has a strange way of teaching lessons through pain. Sometimes the people you protect are the same people who leave scars on your soul. Sometimes the hands you hold tightly become the hands that let go when you need them the most. #fpy #foryou
