crazy how weeks just go by
people who meant something in your life come and go but you still live on
only in memories now
to have someone around and then just disappear: a concept
i like the attention but i didn't want to open up emotionally
am I just always looking for a new _____as a single person?
the whole heartbreak created a type of barrier for falling for someone
broken for a bit rushing into shit that will hurt the other person or me?
i'm just trying to live my life, do the things i haven't done
your brain tricks you into thinking you need them in your life
reality is you don't
BeLiEvE mE WhEn I SaId YoU HaD mE
what began as a game, a distraction, from my pain
with a gradual pinch of care, affection, and attention
built to tear down a part of my walls, walls that have been created over years and years of hurt
i fell in love with you.
only to realize that the man i fell for was incapable of loving me back
incapable of sharing my vulnerability, it was just a game until he finally had me
until i finally gave him the light of day and told him he could have me
then it was over
all the building up
all the doubts i had, all the concerns i felt had vanished before me
because i was in love.
were you not too?
you never let yourself love me.
as i was tearing walls down you put them back up
our roles had reversed
here i was fighting for a love i thought was worth trying for
but you didn't see the value no more
my body felt heavy for weeks
i couldn't move, i couldn't speak
the world turned differently without you
at first.
but slowly i will heal
slowly i'll come back to myself and realize
I am worth it
I am worth leaving a man who is not willing to provide for me
I am are worth finding someone who knows my value and will not dare lose me
did i really cry for heartbreak over this guy?
when all along my life was intended to pan out this way
you’ll find someone to appreciate and love your every essence
you don't need him, but you'll want him and that is how it should be
you'll realize one day that this was meant to be
and you wouldn't have it any other way
we aren't meant to be together forever
they were scared of commitment
scared of having to lose their freedom
having to put someone else first in their life
he didn't want to give up his own freedom
they did not value you enough that's just reality
all you wanted was consistency and loyalty and honesty
he could not give you any of that
They help make you a better person because they inspire you, they love you with all your flaws before you become something
Immature men scare easily
Remember that
Never be afraid to be without them
The biggest difference now is that I don't care about how he feels
what he thinks about me, whatever he is going through
Its irrelevant to my reality
He was so fixated on the idea of winning me over- he didn't care about the part when he could actually have me in his life.
Like i was some fucking prize to win and then that was it
It pisses me off
I am not just some fucking prize for you to show off to your friends
Was I only eye candy to him?
That has nothing to do with me as a person.
That had everything to do with him.
Selfish.
So many empty promises or future plans with no intention of truly following through
That was it. There was no depth to what we had.
You cared that you could have me to yourself because you didn't want to lose me
Lose the one girl who actually gave a shit about you. But even that wasn't enough for you at the end.
If they were really interested they'd give it their all
I don't doublethink it, my emotions and impulses take over
My head feels heavy i did a rooky mistake of texting an ex
But at the same time -i think it's better if he at least knows
I forgot how emotionally exhausting dating is
They want to come back
He doesn't have anything to offer you
Words don't mean shit to you remember that
I'm not gonna stress it cause I don't need to
Nothings changed
He never addressed anything you said
I'm just over it
I gave you a chance already
I already put my 100% in the past
I don't have regrets
It's for the better of my sanity
all I was near the end was stressed
having time for myself and being fully present with the people around me
A blessing
not stressed about some guy who treated me like shit
honey stay single and free
They really tried to bribe me with a present
I'm that fucking shallow?
all I wanted at the time was consistency
now all I want is myself and to be stress free
We can't work
I don't trust you anymore and I don't want to trust you anymore
I can't be myself around you anymore because I don't trust you
Shit changed.
My feelings changed I'm no longer clouded with feelings and emotions like I was before
I like my sleep better
I like being stress free better
I like being able to think clearly and know that we didnt work out because it wouldve been fuckin terrible lmao
I would not have been happy
Toxic.
I knew you didn't have good intentions
At what point are we starting to bring unnecessary pain onto ourselves? At what point are we the ones creating additional conflicts in our lives?
Sometimes, you have to leave people behind. Even those that you thought would be beside you the whole way through.
The beautiful part of a relationship is letting down your walls and being loved wholeheartedly by the person you're with.
When all you feel is hurt and pain… you can't build anything off of that.
Why do I like the excitement of him possibly texting me-even though I know it would be bad for me.
Sucks when you like thrills and impulsiveness.
Single Love
I want to experience being healthy and single.
I want to write letters to myself for different occasions or for friends for different occasions
I want to start putting effort into my friendships because small things and acts of kindness go so far in people's lives.
I want to work on myself and I think I'm just starting to do that in the best ways possible.
I want to make a list
Healthy habits
-exercise
-sleep by 11
-making sure to make time for Nighttime routine
Reassuring Myself
I think this is really for the best. We were put into that relationship to discover our own insecurities and it had to end for us to address those insecurities on our own.
We'll always care for one another and hope the best for each other but that is all we can do.
We cant go back to each other because that would only trigger our old tendencies.
Ultimately it would not be good for either of us, especially after that growth we will make.
I need to address why I felt I needed the relationship
And it wasn't just because I loved him but for my own sense of security
I felt i needed it so i knew he wasn't just messing with my feelings
But the truth is even people in relationships can hurt each other and I needed to address that
It was the obsession and insecurity.
Therapy
The lady did say it would be best for me to let go and not focus on love but myself
Single life is so crazy and reckless
Or maybe I'm just crazy and reckless
I have to move on from you. Like we just could never work and that’s just facts
Like even if we both put in the effort it really wouldn't work
i miss you
But i know you aren't good for me
The amount he would rely on me emotionally would be so overwhelming
And i cant have these turmoils when i'm in school it fucks with me too much
Moving On
My life just feels so busy and I'm not complaining I like it and this can be good for me I'm just having fun
Single me is just on something else
I think about him but I also have just so many distractions that it's different now
Especially now that I no longer associate myself as being his
I genuinely feel free and single
