I guess the thing is with me, loving people helps me overlook hurts. Part of loving, for me, is not necessarily liking them, but knowing that everyone has had their own struggles unique to them and everyone copes differently and that they are just as human, so just as deserving of love as me.
Loving helps me forgive and helps me from being poisoned by my past. Does that make sense? Sorry if I made it sound confusing
