Looking back I wasted so much time being loyal to the wrong people.

Massive miscalculation. 

Probably a self worth issue on my end.

I extended loyalty to those who didn’t deserve it and of course it blew back on me. 

It was my fault, not theirs. 

They never deserved it in the first place.

This is what stoicism is all about. 

Looking back and realizing that you were actually the cause of all your suffering. 

Not others.
