grief

Dear stranger,

Sometimes I want to stop caring for people because I am so tired of being taken for granted, but that's not who I am. I am the kind of person who always care so much and who always choose to be kind to anyone that I meet. It's hard for me to stop caring because I always choose to treat people the way I want to be treated. I always try to appreciate everyone, because that's possibly the nicest thing I could do for them. But sometimes, I admit that I'm getting tired of being treated poorly. I get tired of all the things that people would say to hurt me and they would do that to me unapologétically because they know that I am the one who always choose to understand. I am tired of being too nice to everyone while they don't even care about how I feel. The truth is, I could be the nicest person you'll ever meet, but sometimes I wish I could just be heartless so that no one could ever hurt me.
