it's nights like these i hate. alone in an empty room... forced to face myself. and i don't hate being alone, but i HATE being alone. -- the hardest part about choosing yourself is when you REALIZE you're choosing yourself. when i make a choice, i am terrible at owning it. maybe that's why goodbye's always hurt me. because i'm never sure if i'm doing the right thing. but i can't keep going back to what's already finished. there's nothing wrong with being a single, independent woman but... there is SO much wrong with being a single, independent woman. i've never chosen myself before. why does choosing yourself feel so lonely? i don't feel strong enough to carry this alone.
