There are some people out there


You're right.
I hate people.
I'm scared of them.
I've been scared of them practically my whole life.
People I loved, people I trusted.. have done their absolute worst to me.
And for a long time, that's all I ever knew.
 

[...]
 

But then there are some people out there..
And it doesn't happen a lot.
It's rare.
But they refuse to let you hate them.
In fact, they care about you in spite of it.
And the really special ones, they're relentless at it.
Doesn't matter what you do to them.
They take it and care about you anyway.
They don't abandon you, no matter how many reasons you give them.
No matter how much you're practically begging them to leave.

And you wanna know why?
Because they feel something for me that I can't.
They love me.
And for all the pain I've been through, that heals me.
Maybe not instantly.
Maybe not even for a long time, but it heals.
And, yeah, there are setbacks.
We do fucked up things to each other.
And we hurt each other, and it gets messy, but that's just us, in any world you're in.
 

And, yeah, you're right.
We're all told we don't stand a chance, and yet we stand.
We break, but we keep going, and that is not a flaw.
That's what makes us.


So, no, I will not give up on this world.
