"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to others is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure."

I found out yesterday that my sister was right; at the end of the day the only person you can count on is yourself after all. Everyone you know leaves you, lies to you, lies behind your back, betrays you, lies between their smiling teeth.
I give up on people. I can't risk losing anything else anymore.
I'm stopping putting my faith in other people once and for all. I'm tired of the disappointment.
