I think words/phrases like “always, no matter what” can lead to unrealistic expectations when it comes to certain situations. Sure, they should want to be there for you no matter what, and should most definitely try their best, but sometimes they’re just not or unable to, and it doesn’t mean that they don’t love you. I personally don’t believe anyone can always be there for you no matter what no matter how much they love you. People are not that predictable.
Rather, people and life are not that predictable whether people like to pretend they are or not.

@LucyFuhr thanks Lucy 🤗. I just kind of thought about my personal situations and how sometimes the people I love the most aren’t always there for me when I need them, and there’s just so many different factors/reasons/possibilities as to why and it’s not necessarily always bad. There are cases where they’re oblivious/unaware how much I may need them for personal situations they maybe experiencing themselves or just unaware. There also the fact that I’m not always vocal about how I feel, sometimes they don’t really know how to be there or how to react, sometimes there’s misunderstandings, and the list can just be endless and I don’t think it’s completely fair for me to view the love as not real or there because of life.
