Believe Them

"When people treat you like they don't care, believe them." time is the most valuable commodity at the end of the day there’s never much to spare every second counting the time it takes for a smile or kind word says it all many people are convinced space is limited in their heart they forget that love is a muscle that lives in fear of atrophy you have to be brave to rip off your rose-colored glasses even though it will leave your heart vulnerable and at risk truth is bound to hurt it usually does it’s not fun one day to realize people live by their golden rule of “what’s in it for me” it’s an earthshattering moment of lost innocence people are wrapped up in their own little universe caught up in the cyclone of their madness the folks in your inner circle are the ones who won’t hesitate to strike in a miserly way smiles and kind words dispensed sparingly there’s always someone who is going to want to bully you by withholding their kindness they won’t smile or say a kind word it’s their way of manipulating you to varying degrees they enjoy seeing you squirm it’s a game for them maybe more subconscious than deliberate but really how much of a difference does that really make there are people who will never respect you that’s the way they’re built their hearts cold and without empathy you can’t count on outside validation it’s always fickle forever unreliable these are people close-minded with undeveloped hearts incapable of love in the grandest of ways it’s sad but true "When people treat you like they don't care, believe them."
