Someone Once Spoke Into Me

[collectingthesouls]

Every time I heard clicking sounds of heels or any sound that comes with some kind of gold-digger money, I kind of hoped it would be her. I created this whole little scenario of what she would do to beg me to forgive her for leaving me and dad. But she never came back.

You know that narcissus guy in that greek myth? I've always felt like him. Just gazing at my reflection. Not because I thought I was good looking ha! I just kept trying to find something wrong with me. Something that I could use to get her to hate me and leave me.

I really wanted to tell this story. The story of us, of me, of you, of the days when we were actually happy. I'm so sorry that all I can do is remember the pain? I've forgotten what it feels like to be happy. To smile reflexively...it's so foreign to me.

I didn't f*cking care who knew. I didn't care to tell anyone. But I just wanted you to see and acknowledge how much I couldn't get you out of my head. Is this an obsession? No! It's a confession. A f*cking confession that I just can't stop thinking about you and I don't know why?! Only you can tell me. Is this what it means to be in love with someone?

Actually, the first time I saw you, I wanted friendship. I don't know how it ended up that I suddenly want to devour you like some kind of blood-thirsty, obsessed Twilight character.

The things that I want...when will I get them? The things that I want...why are they always taken from me? The things that I want...how do they just disappear without a trace?

“You thought that being young would be many things. Skipping school and running through fields, sitting in the sun with friends, going to parties, coming home late and not remembering it the next day, taking buses and trains, not caring where you go, as long as you were with those few special people, kissing cute boys, and dressing up to go on first dates, sitting in coffee shops, talking about everything and nothing. You expected adventures, stories that you could tell your grandchildren one day. You didn’t expect to be stuck in the same monotonous routine, going to school, having to face people you strongly dislike on a daily basis, feeling worthless, and so used to being tired that it’s now a part of you and you can’t remember the last time you felt awake. You feel pressured, trapped, like there will never be a way out, and most of all, you feel alone.”

Makes me sick

Looking at this list, I found another reason, why I was stalling, all these years.

Your professional resume is the best way to impress the world for those who have done what society has pressured them to do – graduate high school, participate in school clubs and sports, graduate college with a bachelor’s and then with a master’s degree, then, be employed in a well-known or…

Just keep on believing in me. Because it’s the only way I know that what I’m feeling is real.

Why I feel like I’ll never find The One

These senseless thoughts in my head about my looks and my current status cloud my mind whenever someone mentions marriage and age.

This society sucks. IT SUCKS SO FUCKING MUCH.

Yeah so what? I’m in my late twenties and I’ve never had a healthy or long relationship! Does that make me a bad person? No! So stop labeling me like I am or worse; that something is wrong with me...

Maybe there’s something wrong with them? Ever thought of that? I worked so hard to be happy with who i am today. And I don’t want to settle for less anymore. I’ve learned to value myself more and prioritize potential love interests in a much more positive way.

But with that realization, I also learned that what I did took tremendous courage. Because I see now, that many of the potentials have settled-they didn’t want to risk waiting for The One at a later time in their life because of the social pressures. Some of the ones left have already been married before or have children or are just as lost as they were in their early twenties. The dating pool is so small. So I take chances now.

I don’t have a detailed checklist of my ideal partner: I threw that out last year. But now that I know I want a family and a loving husband, I realize how difficult it is to have someone trust me. And I go back to how toxic I was to myself.

It hits me that I haven’t changed after all that “healing” I did to get out of those toxic behaviors.

I’m still a bully to myself.

I immediately attack myself with hurtful words and reasons why no one would ever trust me, why I’m so unlovable, why I’m never the first choice, why I struggle to keep friends, why I push people away, why people push me away, and why the world doesn’t need me and that everyone is better off without me.

And I cry because I don’t want to believe those things about myself yet here’s all the evidence proving those statements right.

It’s a viscous cycle. I need help or a hug would be nice.

For once, it would be nice for someone to actually like me for who I am. Genuinely.

I’d really like my Disney princess ending please.

“We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.”
