Just because people are unkind to you doesn’t mean you have to be unkind back. No, you are not silly to expect kindness in return, but it is okay to not always get what you want. That’s life. Expect the best out of every situation and never let anyone take away hope from you. Nobody deserves to have that power. Be happy being who you are and never give any situation the power to change you or what you want. Because honestly, in the end, everything is going to pass away and as long as you haven’t lost yourself, it was all a lesson and a lesson can never be bad.
Understand and believe in the power of now. Understand that whatever is meant for you will always be yours. Be silly. Be happy. Be present. Be generous. Be kind. But most importantly, be you. Learn to let go. I repeat, don’t let them take that away. Nobody deserves to have that kind of power.
