Value

Disappointment, Mattering ... Value.
See a theme here people? 
These are real life things. Things that not too many people talk about. 
Things that feel like shit to talk about.  When someone lets you down. When someone breaks your heart. When someone turns out to be something you were not expecting. When your character is challenged. 
It is hard and frustrating. 
It is not easy for some people to handle this. We assume people are able to "handle" things when they reach a certain age. Not cry when they are hurt. Not lose their temper when they are angered.  Not be confrontational when they are challenged.
But some people are passionate.  So passionate about what they do and who they are that when that shit is being questioned, even constructively, it hurts.
And you cannot expect that hurt to go away over night. Time fixes those things.  
Do not assume that if you have moved on that they have or vice versa if they have moved on and you have not that there is something "wrong" with that.
Processing speed for emotions is different for everyone. 
Sometimes when we look back and reflect on situations that have happened in our lives we replay them and look for what we missed, what we could have done differently, what would have made a better outcome.

Value for me is being genuine. Being honest. Being kind. Letting my ego take a backseat when I may be wrong. Being loyal.  Being a good listener.  Being a good friend. 
Being a good person. 
Looking at things from different perspectives. 

It is said that a person who truly values you would never put themselves in a position to lose you.

True Story ...
