Don't Fall For It

Sometimes you just want to give someone the benefit of the doubt because you think they’ll eventually be on the same page as you. Sometimes you see something in them and want to wait until they do, too. Sometimes you just look past the red, inconsistent flags they’ve been throwing from the beginning because you hope that eventually they will see their own potential the way you do. However, sometimes you’re the only one waiting, giving, and hurting all because you see that person’s potential and where things could lead but they don’t. Potential is not a real foundation for a relationship or feelings. It’s only a possibility of what could happen between two people. Although potential is what could attract us to someone it should never be what keeps us to them. This is the disappointing part about potential so whatever you do, don’t fall for it.
