girls love to celebrate their boundless empathy and then get oneshotted by the person they love who contains an infinite well of sorrow that cannot be saved simply by good intentions
and that is how you bitterly realise that saving someone is not a thing you can always do, and is not a decision you should make reflexively, there must be a cold hard calculus in there, for your own self-preservation. even if, even if there is love, you can't sacrifice yourself
‪do i sound a little jaded? yeah of course i do, you can't have a soul on this earth for so many years and not be. that doesn't mean i've lost hope, i'm just not so naïve as i once was‬
‪in case it wasn't extremely obvious this is a thing that's literally happened to me multiple times, i just have the baseline stability and so on that it's never actually completely destroyed me, but i did make bad decisions, and i sure felt the pull, and others weren't so lucky‬
