Relationships are by far
the best and worst experience you’ll feel in your life.
At one point you can feel on top on the world.
On the other hand —
you can feel the most gut wrenching pain
that could never go away.
Along the way,
you’ll lose sight of the meaning of love.
I don’t blame you.
It’s difficult after you see
your parents struggle for a long time.
Maybe we’re too much to manage.
Maybe love isn’t for us.
Maybe love isn’t real.
That’s what you’ll think to yourself
throughout all your heartache and pain
that you endure and witness.
