There’s so much more to life than finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who doesn’t. There’s a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesn’t need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the woods with friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on your own, write on bathroom stalls, leave notes in library books, dress up for yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Do all things with love, but don’t romanticize life like you can’t survive without it. Live for yourself and be happy on your own. It isn’t any less beautiful, I promise.

My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.

I’m looking at you, seeing a future. You’re looking at me, as another person who’s going to leave; I guess that’s what you’re used to, but I’m staying, and it feels like you’re trying to run away from that; us; me. I’m seeing you getting revved up over small things; insignificant to me; wishing that kind of passion could be invested in me. Though I don’t think you’re ever going to love me. Almost like you’re incapable of it at this point in life. It crushes my heart, knowing this is, and will always be one sided. I wish I could say I’ll wait but that’s unfair to myself to wait around for something that may just never happen. I hate that I had to ask; though I don’t think I’m asking for much. Act like you fucking care. If you even do. If not, please stop wasting my time; giving me hope for a fiery love that isn’t even a lasting flame; a spark that was blown away in the wind.

Did you ever feel, as though you had something inside you that was only waiting for you to give it a chance to come out? Some sort of extra power that you aren’t using - you know, like all the water that goes down the falls instead of through the turbines
