Transcript

You need to stop expecting that everyone has the same heart as you do. Not everyone thinks the way you think. Not everyone cares the way you care for others. And just because you would do that much for people, doesn't mean they would do that much for you. This doesn't make you wrong. It just means that people are different. And the moment you start seeing that, you will stop with taking things that personally like you did before. So start to protect your energy a little more. Not everything deserves attention, and you don't need to explain your heart all the time just because people don't understand it.
