Your words say so much more. A heartfelt and well-expressed write!

I felt the ache and sadness of this, and with those last three words, like you've gone numb. I think when we give so much of ourselves, and have so much love to give, and that's not reciprocated in the same way, it's devastating. You penned that well here. When we have a great deal of hope and trust in a person, and they might not view us in the same light, or cherish what we've given.

Beautiful. I feel your pain. I have learned not to let the fake and the ignorant mold me to benefit them. I will mold myself with dignity and pride. I wish you all the best.
