Nobody prepares you for the amount of pain and grief you experience when you have to forgive yourself for believing someone was actually a genuine person. The hardest part isn't just their betrayal, it's the shame you carry for ignoring your instincts.
Iβm never bitter about anything. I might react in the moment because Iβm human and I feel things deeply, but once itβs over.. itβs over. I donβt hold onto anything. I just detach and move on.
