You don’t need to give me reasons to be upset. I have plenty. I’ve lost people I’ve cared for. I’ve loved those who didn’t deserve it. I’ve seen countless people come and go to the point where I thought people weren’t even worth investing in.
I don’t need the reminder of all that's been broken in my life.
So I’m tired of you making me feel like I don’t matter. Lying to me over and over again, you say I have no friends. You say no one loves me. You say my thoughts, opinions, and feelings aren’t important.
You take a perfectly simple day and make it feel like a disaster. You seek these little moments of weakness to open up a deep rooted sadness that I didn’t ask for. I go from a perfectly normal moment to crying in my bed alone, because I don’t think I’m capable of doing anything better.
You say I don’t deserve to be happy and now I finally have the strength to tell you you’re wrong.
I may not be Miss Popular with a million followers on Instagram, but I have a solid group of people who loveland support me. When times get tough, I have people to lean on. I hear their truths over your lies.
Maybe I’ve been through hell and back, but that doesn’t mean life isn’t worth living. And it doesn’t mean I’m alone in what I’m feeling either.
So stop invalidating my feelings and ruining perfectly good days, because I am strong. And I’m going to keep fighting against the awful things you tell me, because if there’s one thing I’m sure about myself it’s this:
I don’t quit.
