I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.

très souvent votre problème c’est que vous espérez aimer durablement quelqu'un dont l'attention est capturée en permanence par les vies fictives qui défilent sur son téléphone et le jour où votre quotidien paraît trop simple comparé à ces mirages numériques il s'enfuit chercher ailleurs un amour qu'il piétinait sans le voir depuis le premier jour
If you never dated in college and never got your heart broken, life will hit differently later.
Heartbreak in your younger years teaches you things no classroom ever can how people change, how attachment works, how pain feels, how to handle rejection, and how to grow from it.
It sounds weird, but it is what it is
Somebody said “The love you receive from someone who knows how to be alone is the most sincere there is.
