Dont try to change what you know is ineviteable.. Trust your intuition when it says, protect yourself and ruuuunnn.. People dont change they either evolve and grow or they go backwards, wither and die. They take whatever they can on the way back down with logical reasoning or screaming and kicking.
If they go back, get out, get out, get out ask for help don’t protect them, or help them.. Its not your journey. you can’t help.. If they are evolving you can learn from them. Thats a good place to hang in, so stick around and learn from them.. Either way, listen up folks or your e going to get badly hurt… And it will be you, slipping down the slope, as they bury you on the way down, while they crawl back to the cave from whence they came#nk you cant change people you can only root for them amd hope they have the strength to do what’s right without destroying lives out of their own cowardice.
