When someone hurts and shatters you from inside, it breaks you in the moment.
Some people turn sour forever, while some bounce back.
What I have learnt is that the people that turn sour are the people who do not learn the lesson. And they do not wish to change their behaviour towards the same trigger.
For example, if my usual behaviour is keeping to my own self, and someone pokes me often at a public gathering, the next few times I am going to either stay away from them or not go at that gathering. But to show up close to them at the gathering and becoming bitter like them is the stuff of losers. Mostly, being a loser of your own goodness. What a pathetic loss.
Please do not lose the love inside of you. For those who drain you of it, please rather stay away from them…
