I Will Survive

It really sucks seeing potential in a person and seeing it go to waste. But I'm learning. One of the biggest lessons I am learning is that I can't control other people. Being compassionate means giving others the space to be themselves and learn their own lessons.

Being sad when you see those lessons going unlearned is also part of compassion as well. That's the part that hurts. Sometimes life surprises us in good ways, sometimes in not so good ways. That's just how it goes sometimes.

But now, I turn my compassion back to myself.

I will survive.
