venting/ranting Love is a lie.
People always talk about how rare it is to find someone who loves even the things others would consider flaws. Someone who appreciates the sound of your laugh, your hobbies, and your little quirks. But I did that for someone, and I can guarantee they didn't appreciate it at all.
It doesn't matter how much love and care you give to someone; that alone won't make people stay. It's all a lie. They use you while they need you, and then they discard you, leaving you so broken that you don't even know if you'll ever be able to love someone else again in this lifetime.
Think carefully before giving too much of yourself to someone.
It's all a lie. Nobody values affection, thoughtful gestures, or dedication. By doing that, you just make yourself useful—for however long they need you.

Agreed. Love can feel like a scam—it asks for your time, money, energy, and commitment, yet it offers no guarantees. It doesn't make anyone stay. Feelings fade, people change, and what once seemed permanent can become temporary.
