My lil sis just turned 21. We were having a convo & I said something along the lines of “they’re better than that” & she said, “no, ppl are what they show u. That’s your optimism.” I’m stunned because my optimism is a “positive” quality. But maybe it creates delusions too.
the moment someone cheats on you, i think you should leave. questioning if they ever loved you or not is irrelevant in the end bc their act of cheating showed you one thing for certain. that no matter how much they love you, their impulse to cheat is stronger than their love.
