Sacrifices

Would you make a sacrifice for someone you love even though that person is not going to acknowledge it at all? Even though that sacrifice really hurts you? What if it is always you who is sacrificing?
I feel like I have been doing this for very long. And I know being like this has hurt me and made me bitter. But isn't doing this selfless, altruistic and fulfilling? I'm confused.
Oh the paradoxes of life...I hate them. Let me change that to - oh, how interesting they are! Because perception is everything. This much I have learnt.
What if the person you love is difficult and toxic? What do you do? I think you decide if the relationship is worth it. If the sacrifice of your energy in dealing with the toxicity is worth it.
Relationships, is undoubtedly the most difficult area of life to figure out.

Distance

Isn't it crazy how sometimes, this one person totally captivates you. You cannot stop thinking about that person. That person drives you crazy. It is almost like that person becomes your gravity. You cannot bear the thought of separation. It saddens you. You ignore or justify anything that you don't like about that person.
But then something happens and you are in a new place with new people. You meet another person who blows you off your feet. And the memory of the person before slowly starts to fade away. You wonder why you felt what you felt in the very first place.
I just think, this is so insane and tragic. Don't you?
How something that means so much can just fade away. Just like that. Just by distance.
