Listen my love, at the risk of sounding too profound.

You were not put on this earth to make others happy. If your presence makes others happy then that is a beautiful thing... but to make another happy must not impinge upon your own happiness, for then only sadness and false truths apply.
Obviously it is right and decent and human to care about others, but sometimes we need to grasp the nettle. People hurt, people get hurt, it's the nature of the beast. You know your mind....act upon it. Humans are adaptive, they hurt, they heal, they learn, they move on......worry about yourself first (not in a selfish manner, but your own personal mentality must take precedence, if you're not psychologically happy and balanced then your worries about the welfare of others will only ■■■■ you up more).

Look after yourself first and foremost, sometimes to keep your smile another must frown, it's the way it is. He may frown now but he'll be smiling later. There's no point in the pair of you frowning together. Sometimes you must smile through your tears.

It's life, put it in its place and move on.

Take Care
