Temporary

You are enough. 

Some people just drift from person to person because they’re unhappy with themselves. They know you deserve better, they’re just not willing to do better, not for you or for themselves. 

They got their ego fed by you and someone new will come along and feed their ego, too. They are masters at this game, they know what works, what words to say, how to give you just enough and always keep you there in their pocket, guessing, waiting, overthinking and they will not apologize for it.

They will get bored with you after a while because you want something more from them, something they’re unwilling to give. They will just keep hurting others and finding a million reasons to justify their actions. 

They are temporary people with temporary thoughts and temporary emotions. 

Yes there could be deeper underlying issues like trust and trauma, but don’t make excuses for their disrespect. Deep down inside they know they shouldn’t be out here messing with other people’s feelings. They know they should be focusing on healing and getting to the root causes of this behavior, but they’re lazy and the culture we live in tells them they don’t have to do anything different. 

Today’s culture tells them that the right one will accept them as they are, or maybe that person is just not the right one and it’s time to move on. They will use everyone and then play the victim the moment they’re called out. They will call you crazy and launch a campaign to smear your name then cut you off. And they will tell the next person just how poorly you treated them, when the reality is You saw through their bulllshit. They must destroy your ego, for abandoning feeding theirs. 

These people are cruel, heartless and narcissistic, they don’t care about anyone but themselves. If they care about you it’s because they care about what you can do for them. It’s about how they can manipulate you to get what they want. They are arrogance cloaked in confidence and their biggest fear is that you will see right through their act. 

Be careful out there. Pretty words are beautiful and pretty words are also sometimes very hollow.
