there are very few people in the world who will ever truly understand you so let them say what they want, you are not in control of the way you are perceived don't allow temporary people to explore your soul the depths of you should only be welcome to those who can appreciate the valleys you've walked and the scars you wear like tattoos there are people that will praise your failures and hope you stay tethered to the pain of your past I hope you understand these are the ones that need love the most I hope you learn to give it from a distance you'll find that it is necessary to let things go, people too you'll find that burning bridges isn't always a catastrophe I hope you learn to love the sound of walking away from what is no longer meant for you you were made for more than this
