My heart was always in the wrong place. The things that didn’t matter at all, I gave them my all. I wasted so much energy on useless pish. Terminal friendships. Unsalveagable projects. Lost causes. I used up so much of my time, hoping that I could fix them, like a lost child trying to stop a burning house. A stranger stuck outside in the rain without an umbrella or a jacket. But sometimes, you just have to put the water bucket down, stop looking for shelter, and give up.

Wasted
My heart was always in the wrong place. The things that didn’t matter at all, I gave them my all. I wasted so much energy on useless pish. Terminal friendships. Unsalveagable projects. Lost causes. I used up so much of my time, hoping that I could fix them, like a lost child trying to stop a burning house. A stranger stuck outside in the rain without an umbrella or a jacket. But sometimes, you just have to put the water bucket down, stop looking for shelter, and give up.
i was never good at choosing where to invest my efforts. imagine having to choose between saving money for something important and spending every single cent you have. at some point, i'd crack under pressure and choose the latter.
