Pedestals

Sometimes when we put people on a pedestal because our minds want them to be what we are looking for, what we need in the moment...and when we realize that those people are not deserving of that pedestal, it is not them who have fallen, but us. They are who they were all along. We were wrong to have put them there...and in the end when that picture of perfection breaks, it is us who ends up being cut by the glass fragments and we have only ourselves to blame. The important thing to remember is to learn from these mistakes and to not repeat them.
