I blamed myself for being sad. I secretly believed I had, in some way, failed at life, that I had made some terrible misstep in order to for my mood to be so irreparable.

There I was again, falling, falling so hard and not even realizing it. And there you were, realizing that you didn’t want me. Oh how it hurts to be back on the floor struggling to breathe. That sinking feeling in my chest, bloodshot eyes, the panic attacks, the self hatred. The never ending reminder of just not being good enough for anyone. How did I let myself believe it would be any different this time ?

I’m not made to be loved.
