One of the most commonly used excuses I’ve never understood.
Is that one of claiming to be ’accidentally’ hurting someone you love.
Because from what I’ve seen.
When you truly love somebody?
You are careful with their heart.
You carry a first aid kit and attend to each and every one of their wounds even if they were not opened by you.
From there you know how rough these wounds look, so you do your best not to open more.
When you love someone, you don’t give them reasons to question their worth.
And simply blame it on their overthinking.
Instead, you go to great lengths to ensure they never feel immense pain because of you.
‘Subconsciously’ hurting someone you claim to love makes no sense.
Perhaps you don’t care
You’re aware your actions will hurt them.
You just don’t love them enough.
