I’m not the same person I was when I was 14. Being hurt so many times has changed me. In good ways and bad. I get hurt but I don’t cry much. People who hurt me aren’t worth my tears. I’ve realized that I care more about people then they do about me most of the time. I’ve distanced myself from these people. I deserve better. I’ve become self motivated. Being self motivated all the time gets lonely Sometimes I feel numb. Numb because I’ve been hurt so many times that I don’t feel much. I just shrug my shoulders and try to move on with my life. When I was younger I would have cried for hours. Thought about how it was all my fault that this happens to me. I’m not that girl anymore. Now I know that I’m not going to change for anyone. I’ve gotten this way of thinking that I’m actually worth something. And I still don’t know if it’s true. But I’ll keep moving forward. Keep doing what I’m doing for me I think about if my 14 year old self would be proud of me proud that I don't let people hurt me anymore Or if she would be scared because I’ve gone numb.
