doormat

let's be more stubborn is my recent motto

 

let's love myself more, even if it's tough, especially when it's tough

 

 

 

to do that, let's start being more honest with myself, right?

 

i am going to lie to myself actually.

i am going to stand on my own side and defend my own feelings.

 

 

you? you are a joke to me!

you can defend yourself and justify yourself.

 

you believe you did the right thing?

 

 

 

good! good? good good!!

i also believe that i did the right thing so ***** you.

such a simple childish conversation, why did it take me so long to realize how powerful this is?

 

if I am not on my side, then who will be on my side? why do i always have to view it like others do?

 

why was i taught that i was bad if i hurt others' feelings??

what if they hurt my feelings?? is that right, then?

 

i am not sorry.

i do not want to feel a second's worth of guilt or hurt over it.

you hurt me and i hurt you back. you deserved it.

 

stop trying to take advantage of the fact that i am nice and desperate for people.

 

no one is really that important to each other.

 

not even lovers last!

divorces are ever-growing. no one wants to actually stay married. even john mulaney and his wife broke up. :(

 

parents can **** too!

orphanages keep growing in population, child abuse is rampant globally.

 

who says friendship lasts forever?

talk to all the middle schoolers and adults who have fallen out with multiple people over their short and long lives.

 

i call ********

i was just taught to be a ******* doormat.
