Someone once told me, “Change is good.”
Yes, as simple as that. Generalized, with conviction.
I beg to differ though.
For me, change is good, but not all the time. Change isn’t always good, especially if that change causes you no good. And what’s worse is when you get to the point where you get used to it.
But you have to get used to it. After all, it’s the only thing constant in this world.
Hay.
Is it okay to lie to someone you love for them not to get hurt? I don’t think so. It will never be okay.
“Well the truth hurts, and lies worse..” - Broken Strings
Trust is like a mirror - once broken, you never look at it the same way again.
When a mirror breaks, no matter how much effort you exert in putting those little pieces back together, it still wouldn’t look like as it was before. There will be cracks. And sometimes, no matter how careful you are in putting back those pieces, there’s a chance that you’ll only end up hurting yourself.
Just like in losing and bringing back your trust for a person, sometimes the best way to go is just to leave it there rather than taking risks by repeatedly bringing back something that is repeatedly lost.
One of the greatest hurts you can ever experience is betrayal of trust, especially when it’s from the person you’ve trusted the most.
Take it from me.
Every ending is another beginning.
Endings are not always sad. It may also be a start of something better to come. Think positive. :)
