I need to quit belittling my emotions. Those constant apologetic "it's just my feelings" or "I don't know why I'm upset now" Invalidating my own feelings and letting **** slide is not what I'm going to do anymore. I'm going to tell people that hurt me, their faults. Nobody is going to tell me that I shouldn't feel hurt by others actions. Nobody is going to get any satisfaction out of me if they simply don't care about my feelings. I'm sincerely and honestly drained, inside out. My heart has been pulsating faster than ever before My mind has been racing with thoughts Trying to place puzzle pieces together and adding up the equations When I could simply have that conversation that I've been avoiding. I'm drained, God, I'm drained. I have been searching for peace on every mountaintop through every desert, and yet I'm still sitting here hopeless.
