Rejection is so normal for me. I've come to terms with the fact that I'll be alone forever. And it doesn't even bother me. I'm used to being independent and on my own. I'm used to not needing validation from anyone. I've become numb to the sorrow that I'm careless with my every day. My once pained muscle of a beating heart is now like a black rock, immune to anything thrown its way. The feeling of loving someone that doesn't love me back used to make my stomach drop and my heart sink, but then I reminded myself of how I already knew I wasn't lovable.
Not sure what this is but I wrote it on 11/25/2013 and for some reason, I felt like posting it.

Inhale
           Exhale
Inhale
           Exhale
Breathe
It's okay
Breathe
Whatever happened
That's over now
Inhale
           Exhale
Inhale
           Exhale
Life goes on
It'll be okay

No matter how dark the night
The sun will always rise
And the winter
Will always become spring

Breathe

Choices

I'm not very attracted
To those who're easy
Those who go out
And act like they're so hot
Like what they do
Doesn't matter
As if there are
No consequences
I can get to know you
And love how you are
Love how you look
Walk and talk
But if you do that
With everyone
That crosses your path
You're no longer that special
Nor are you unique
You're not a person
Worth treasuring
It's a shame
People don't realize
Every choice
Makes a difference
When it comes to
Building one's character

We took a hot shower together
Went to an old movie
Made out in the theatre
Afterwards, we weren't hungry for dinner
We simply raced home
And had each other
Satisfying our appetite
For more
I wrote this on 1/2/14. Kinda silly but based off true events:)

I Miss Us

I don't like how
I can't tell you I love you
As freely
Like I used to

I don't like how
We no longer share
Intimate and close moments
Like before

I don't like how
We're always stuck
In between
When previously, we were one

I don't like how
I can't show you
How much I want you
Or even need you

I don't like how
I'm always scared
Of losing you
As I have in the past

I don't like how
Things have changed
I want you to accept us
Once more

I don't like how
You aren't mine
And how you're not
Exclusive to me

I hate how I can't
Express my love for you
In many ways
Like you used
To appreciate
Wrote this quickly.

I guess those memories
and words
mean nothing to you
because there you are enjoying yourself
with your new lover
and here I am dying
without my old one

I'd say I wish you the best
but I'd be lying
