You can't force someone to care... You can only come to the realization that if you stay, they'll keep hurting you. I wish you the wisdom and courage to walk away and begin the healing process.

About This Quote

This quote highlights the fact that people do not genuinely care about you. If you want to be loved, you will have to give them the gift of yourself. They may care when you are in their presence, but when you are not there they forget all about you. You cannot force someone to care about you, but if you can show them that they do in fact care about you, the reward is so much greater than if they had never known in the first place.
