I've been told that I'm too... malleable. That I need to learn to say no. That I need to just say what I feel, because it really will matter to those who I should be caring about.
Today I tried it out....
Twice.
Neither time did it work. I said what I was feeling. I was firm about it.
You brushed it off and ignored me and did what you wanted, despite my attempt at an interjection. It didn't matter to you that today just wasn't a day to mess around with me. You didn't care that every little thing was pushing me closer to the edge. I fell off the edge, actually. But you wouldn't stop long enough to hear me, even if I did try to tell you that. All it got me was a lot of awkward silence and a further tarnished reputation.
Well. What lesson did we learn today, kids?
Keep everything inside of you. Other people don't care how important the part of yourself you're trying to give to them is. They'll give you advice because it sounds like a smart thing to say... but then when it's time to try and take it, not even they will support you.
I am tiny. The speck on a speck on a speck in the grand scheme of things.
And, you know what? Today I'm really feeling it.
I wish I could "like" these.
