I spent years hoping, believing, wishing, trying, dying, trying to force someone to love me who didn’t. I watched time and time again as she ran off with different men with ease. It was almost like I never existed. From an outsider looking in I didn’t.

Not that I want something bad to happen, but I don’t want anything good either. I flat out don’t give a fuck. It’s a beautiful thing I tell you.
