Cancer--I know so little about it. It's something I thought existed in movies, something I wouldn't have to deal with in my life. Surprisingly, coping with someone having cancer is more about life and how it's affected than anything else.
Similarly, something you don't see in movies but always experience in life...people around you that should be some of the closest people to you but that are spouting poisonous, hurtful and venomous words.
What? you say. In disbelief, thinking you've misheard.
Nothing, they reply. But now you're sure you didn't mishear the meaning behind their words. But years later, you still remember.
These people were my closest friends at one time. Or part of my extended family. Recently, I've found it so difficult to forgive them, and find myself distancing myself from them because their words can be so hurtful, so toxic. And because I'm at a stage in life where I actually believe that I deserve to be around and with people that treat me better than that, regardless of their moods or level of exhaustion. If they don't like me, so be it, let's not hang out together, but please don't take up my time and please don't block me from finding happiness and being around people that treat me better.
I remember Junsu saying that his "friends" in the past during the time of debut also said hateful words to him. After he said that, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Maybe because of that, somewhere along the way, I realized that I deserve to be treated better by people that I call "friends" or "family."
