never ever think that you made a mistake by being able to care as much as you did. don’t let the people who took you for granted affect your willingness to show love at the level you’re capable of.
trying to love someone into a “soft era” is something you will do at your own peril. a person has to meet you with softness, and when you meet them with softness in return, it’s amplified. you can’t make someone soft, they have to be ready to create that experience with you.
