It's not always peaches but still...
Why do people stay with people who hurt them and don't care about them?
Most of the time I'm happy... genuinely happy. I love being around people, watching them smile, listening to them laugh and talking about all sorts of interesting theories and observations. But there are times when I'm also upset... usually when someone has hurt me, usually when love doesn't go so right. So what happens? I just go on smiling and laughing. Why? Because if I don't then I would probably cry, and no one really wants to see that... but eventually, I will just walk away so I don't have to pretend any more.
So actually most of the time, I'm happy for real.
Life's too short to be around people who upset you and it's definitely too short to pretend you're enjoying it ;)
So if you find that you're pretending, ask yourself, wouldn't it be better to spend your precious time with those people who make you happy? 80/20 rule. 20% of the people you're with, bring you 80% of your joy and happiness.
