Meg Dowell Writes

Sometimes people betray you. Sometimes they betray you and there isn’t anything you can do to fix it. Sometimes you think you know a person, and then all at once you realize you never knew them. And you can’t even tell them how you feel because, what’s the point? What’s the point of taking it out on them when you’re the root of the problem? What’s the point in pretending you aren’t upset when you’re really devastated?

In situations like this, it’s best just to give the person space and cry it out until you get over it.

If you ever get over it.

When you’re hurt and can’t explain why, don’t try to tell them. It will just come out all wrong. And then things will become even more of a mess than they already are. You don’t want that. You don’t even really know what you want at all. You’re too blinded by your tears to be able to think clearly.

Just drop it. Just forget it. It’s not worth it. It simply isn’t worth it.
