People Show us Over and Over Again

People show us over and over again exactly who they are, and we look away the first hundred times or so, because it’s easier to look at someone and see what we want to see, instead of what’s really there. That’s okay. But one day you’ll realize that life is too short to keep looking away. Take a long hard look and see what they show you the first time. That’s who they are. Believe it.
