Thoughts

Why is it, that the people you like and love the most, are the ones that continually disappoint you?
Why is it that when you put yourself on the line, in hopes of restoring a little bit of humanity to the universe, that you get trampled on, made to feel like crap for caring?
I have had the unfortunate experience in the past, of having people use me, under the guise of friendship. It makes one a bit gun shy, and weary. How does one trust someone again after things transpire that make you angry, sad, and everything in between?
What do you do when someone you wrote off has popped back into your life, and asks to stay in touch? Do you put yourself out there again, and hope for the best whilst fearing the worst?
If I had the answer to these question, I would be rich. Alas I have no answers, but only a quote that I agree with.
"I'd rather regret the things I did, then the things I did not do."
