Collateral Damage

We're all just selfish, really. Each and everyone of us. We try, to a certain extent, to shield the ones we care about. But in pursuing our own happiness, we end up hurting others. Why? Because in the end, its really ourselves first, isn't it?

I think it finally hit me today. That whilst i built my own happiness, whilst both of us did, we've been hurting other people. And the worse part is, we've hurt people who actually care about us.

But we can't make everyone happy. Not if its at the cost of our own happiness. We'll try to minimize the damage, but its all unintended collateral damage. Scraphnel from the decisions we've made.

There is guilt. I assure you. But we can't, and we won't live that way. And if they truly care about us, then let us go, of our sin.
