Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13: 4-7

I did not protect, did not trust, and I did not fight to keep our love alive. Instead, I allowed the opinions of others to create doubt and fear inside me until I *ruined* us. *Ruined* our lives. *Destroyed our love.* While I was stuck living with the guilt of my reckless outbursts, fate thought it wise to test me. To throw my past into my future and see if the outcome would be different. *Only I wasn’t prepared.* Everything bled together, and the doubt and fear consumed me. *Once again.* When people said that karma was a bitch, they weren’t exaggerating. However, the part they tended to forget was that those consequences stemmed from your choices. And I—along with everyone else around me—was about to pay a high price for mine.
