The hardest thing I've learned is that no matter how much you care, you can't force someone to communicate or fight for you. You can't beg someone to see your worth or choose you the way you choose them.
And that truth hurts more than anything, because you start wondering why your love wasn't enough. I used to think if I stayed a little longer or loved a little harder, things would change. But love shouldn't feel like convincing someone to care. And maybe the hardest part is accepting that sometimes, no matter how much you loved them, they were never going to love you the same way back.
