Be careful who you make sacrifices for.

Because in the end they’ll show up with the cleanest sentence in the world: “I didn’t ask you. It was your choice.”

And suddenly all the nights you swallowed your needs, all the times you stayed quiet, all the times you bent your life around theirs, get filed under “your decision.”

That line is convenient. It wipes their responsibility and keeps your pain.

So give, yes. Just don’t bleed for people who keep their hands clean.
