Telling me to learn how to not take things too seriously is like telling me to learn patience in a day. It takes time to learn. I am not going to acquire a new personality over night. I can't undo my feelings. I can't help the way I react. Your words have an effect on me, no matter how much you try to deny it. Why can't you understand that? I always do things wrong and when I attempt to do things right, you always find a way to make them meaningless. Why can't you just accept me the way I am, flaws and all? Why are constantly trying to change me? I thought love was unconditional. Yours came with terms and conditions. But when will the box I clicked for 'accept' pass your line of vision? I'm trying my best. Sometimes I feel you aren't. - y.j.r.
