Dont you love it when your closest friend knows nothing about you? My irl didn't even know I've gone to art school, how is that possible? I know I don't talk of myself much but its impossible that it's never come up, did she forget? Or did she just not care? I don't know, I'm so tired of everyone on this planet, things I found endearing just make me sour and frustrated, it only gets better when I talk to Him, I really love him, its so surreal
Sometimes I'll remember what he's like and how he's like and I'll genuinely just pause to process that he's.. Interested in Me, me, not someone else, this man that is literally the sweetest person, sensitive and smart and funny and handsome, is interested in... Me? Little ol' me? What's the catch? Somehow even just seeing his tattoos sometimes when he shows me stuff I just pause like..... Wow he's..so much more than I deserve but I love him, and he loves me.... . . How? I try to rationalize it, I'm a decently smart woman, I am knowledgeable on many topics, I can hold a conversation, autism-bonding is a factor too, but it all comes back to my insecurity, that he'll find someone better than me that's just like me, if that makes sense, and honestly if he did I'd be happy for him, but man, man, I don't know that I want that, I don't know, I want him, like, I want to be the one to have him and I'm happy he's mine, I don't want to give him up, is that selfish? I want to hug him to my breast and hold his head and shield him from the world with my body, I want to soothe his flesh and smoothen the knots and love him, I want to love him, and I do, and it's so surreal, it's like- wow I met someone like that in such a moment and he actually likes Me, he likes me, not someone else, me, and I like him, and it's at arguably the worst low of both of our lives, and he's..... Mine, wow
I cannot get past that
I have him, I'm not thrown behind, I'm with him, wow, wow, I'm not even sure what to feel truly
I find myself in a serendipitous situation, truly, this is such a chance, and yet everything in my life has lead to this, every choice and mistake lead to him, it all brought me to Him, this is so terrifying
Every step, every path, every butterfly I saw on my walks, the tears I shed alone, every whisper every note every struggle, it all brought me to him, I find myself for the first time in my life thankful for the abuse, the hurt, the death
Thank you to my mental suicide, for my pain, for my sadness, for my hopelessness, had it not been for you all, I would not have met him
I'm a good person God damnit
I'm not stupid, I'm not a toddler, I'm not a rag or a wall, I'm not a monster and a parasite and a demon, I'm not, I'm me, and he loves me, and I don't want to keep looking in the mirror to find a reflection of torture looking back at me, I don't want to be what they tell me I am
And it's okay, it's okay that I'm pathetic and a bit dumb sometimes, a bit absent minded, a bit weak, dependant and a crybaby, it's okay, it doesn't take away that I'm an educated adult woman that survived a whole bunch of horrific experiences
I flinch when people yell around me, I freeze up and go into panic mode, it all comes rushing back to me, the memories like the backside of a ferry popping open come rushing in filling me with water in an instant and I feel I am drowning, I am that little girl again, when someone raises their hand I fear I will be hit, when the tone changes I crumble inside in fear of a conflict, I am so broken, goodness, I'm so shattered, held together by glue and scotch tape, how am I holding on, I don't even know, my gosh
I love him, he's so sweet, I want to eat him, I want to die in his ribs, I want to rest in his flesh and rot with him, I want to be the last person on the planet to have heard his voice before we die, I want to give him everything, I want to move mountains for him, I want to make the world better for him, I want to see every emotion and every feeling and every thought and I want to experience it with him, I want to interlock our fingers and get close enough that our hearts begin beating in sync, I want to melt into him, I want to be by his side for eternity, I want to be his favorite, his number one, his most precious, I want to wash his back, listen to him play guitar, I want to go out to a field together and just lay and talk about nothing and everything for days, I want to experience eternity with him, I want to be full of him, I want so many things, this is the most selfish I've ever been, and I enjoy it, and I prefer it, and I am not as guilty, I love him, I don't care if we don't survive, as much as it would be lovely, it would be just as lovely to die in his arms,a tragic French fairytale,what'll the ending be? I'll know when it gets there
