As long as you care
something will always hurt.
Maybe what you need is someone to talk to. Someone who'll make you feel understood even if they really don't understand you. Someone who's willing to listen. Who's willing to just be there for you even if they have nothing meaningful to say. Maybe that's what you really need. A friend. Someone who's not there to fix you but willing to cheer and support you… while you figure things out and heal on your own.
That's all we want. In the end. To be acknowledged. And appreciated. And to be told we've been missed. And loved.
