Everyone is going to hurt you sooner or later. You just have to decide who's worth the pain"
I saw this quote on a page recently and it started me thinking. It's probably one of the more profound statements I have seen and definitely true. You can give everything you have to give, and sometimes, it's not enough. Some people require things that you don't have the ability to give them. You may get hurt, but hopefully, you learned something in the process.
Then there are those few who give as much as they take from you. The people, or person, who cares so much for you that they put your needs and desires above their own. Those people are like diamonds, precious and rare. Worthy of every bit of love and friendship you give to them, because they nurture it, and return it to you.
Cultivate your garden of friends carefully. Separate the weeds from the flowers so that you are not choked by ugliness, but rather, surrounded by the beauty your garden offers you.
Every person that enters our lives, is there for a reason. Some last a day, some for a season, and those very few that are worth any pain you feel in the process, last for a lifetime. I doubt any one of us will ever meet a person that we agree with 100% of the time. We will never meet a person that we don't argue with at some point, but maybe, just maybe, we will meet one worth arguing with.
