Some people just don’t change.
You can pour your heart into them, give them all the chances in the world, but they stay the same.
Stubborn, stuck in their ways, dragging you down with them.
You hope, you wait, you make excuses for them, thinking maybe this time will be different.

But it never is.

In part because they dont want change, despite all that they say otherwise.
They remain who they are, flaws and all, and you’re left holding the bag of your own shattered expectations.
It’s a hard truth to swallow, but some people just can’t be saved.
They are who they are, and nothing you do will make a difference.

So you have to learn to let go, to save yourself.
Because holding on to the hope that they’ll change will only break you in the end.
Hope is a profound thing and can keep you alive, but it also can be your downfall if you let it.
Sometimes, it’s freeing to just let that hope go, not hold onto it, no matter how much you love them.
