No one wants to be too hard too love. It seems we have been running this endless circle of Impressing and Disappointment. We try till our own self reflection in the mirror is no longer the sweet nothings they promised us but how we truly see ourselves being as. It's a cold reminder that is way beyond trying to "fit in" and more about finding who we really are who we want to be through the eyes of another human being. Yes we can be dependent sometimes but its only cause they told us no one would ever love us unless we love ourselves first. And I'll be damn to think that version has to consist of closing myself off from the rest of the world. Cause honestly? How could you love yourself if the mere thought of being left alone scares the hell out of you.

Not what I intended, but it works.
