Perhaps, no matter how hard you try to prevent the hunch, it will still occur to you that everything is a crapshoot; sweet gestures with fewer certainties. It's all a gamble that only bravery could surpass. There is always that undeniable inkling.
Either you win . . . or you lose.
The hardest part of giving your trust to somebody is when you have already endured a lot, and your trust had been broken multiple times. Yet, you still want to be loved, to be secured in the arms of a person who will never break you.
You crave transparency, but even that, alone, seems hard to find. Somebody comes and tries to break the walls and takes away your suspicions. You unhurriedly peek out the window to see how smooth, strong, and determined that person is just to convince your heart and take care of it lovingly. But the idea of ending is always embedded in your head and you can't do anything to stop it.
Either you win . . . or you lose.
But right at this moment, it seems that you're losing in a gamble you're not even involved in. It hurts. But you have to pull yourself together and wait patiently for your own time as you fix every broken piece of your heart.
You have to be aware that at the end of the day, no one can ever fix your brokenness but you. Some people you will encounter might have genuine intentions about you and will be consistent with their purpose. Others might be playing with your emotions and be a plain paragon of deception, in which pure hearts like yours can never be matched with theirs.
Sure, it would feel as if there is nothing in this world that's meant for you. But be more patient. Enjoy the present moments. Enjoy the simple things around you . . . . because only then will you be able to find that inner peace, love, and fulfillment that will never come from anybody else.
Let those things unfold until they all turn into something beautiful that will guide you to the betterment of yourself. It's about time that you let yourself reach the level of acceptance; the change; the moving forward.
I know you have gained that understanding about life, and not every day is going to be finding that special someone who will give you sweetness in the form of red roses, captivating words, convincing gestures, and believable tactics.
And it would seem to be an endless cycle of grasping the hope. But, please, know that it will come to end. You will not be in that situation forever.
I believe that we learn different lessons from all the people that we encounter. Whether it be from someone who only comes in and leaves after not getting what he wants. Or those who will patiently wait for you, get to know you more, and soon be the embodiment of your loyalty.
They will try to persuade you with trite words, but will never have the courage to actually pursue you with sincerity.
Remember that you will never be a priority for someone who's too hooked on flirtatious motives. You will never be good enough for someone who's too obsessed with playing and who's only willing to fight for you when it's convenient to them.
But, there is still something to be thankful for because you never got involved with ephemeral, made-up romance. Those who sought to enter into your life have already revealed who they are even at the very beginning ----thanks to your powerful inkling that always turns out to be true. Those kinds of people are too engrossed in their own definition of love in the face of a game, which makes it dangerous for a person like you to be in their sight.
But in spite of all that, I am just proud of how strong you are for not letting your guard down and for always reminding yourself of your worth . . . . because you are worthy of love and you deserve good things in life.
