Everyone tells you that people come and go. What people don't tell you is that when this happens, it's often in the midst of a cacophony of twisted perception or narrow-mindedness and sometimes pure mindfuck. No one ever tells you that you will sometimes, if not often, be the only upright person in a room full of people you once believed in. No one ever tells you that so often, the people that come and go are left entirely unscathed, while the person who dared to hang on is left without a thought, all alone. No one ever tells you that it's probably not worth the effort to remain sane. It's probably not worth the effort to remain moral. It's probably not worth the effort to defend the truth.
But once you realize these things, you have no choice. You have no choice but to cut out the negative, the twisted, the dishonest and unfaithful, and fight even harder for what is right, and for what you deserve.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about that fairy-tale notion of justice, or about defending yourself. Forget about those, they're only harmful. Best to not believe that anyone is going to "get what they deserve" or that you should defend yourself to the people who seek to destroy you. Wastes. Better to work harder for what you want, whether you're getting what you deserve or not; and instead of trying to prove your enemies wrong, prove yourself right. Success is just as much about letting go as it is about holding on.
And nothing has failed until you let yourself believe it has.
