How come all men I ever loved just used me? Every. single. one. What is so wrong with me? Am I that terrible?
Or yeah, maybe I just kept choosing wrong and I should try, as with all things in life. Right? RIGHT? Simple.
But you know, this is truly how I feel: You get your heart broken often enough, it gets hard to put back together.
I feel so sad feeling like I was never seen as a person. Just a resource they could exploit. They enjoyed the empathy, the patience, the kindness, but when they no longer needed them, or when that parts of me that weren't so pretty started showing, it was so easy to let me go. I was just an object they could discard.
It's dehumanizing and I wish I could reach back to my younger self and apologize for not knowing better.
I love love. I love loving. And it really breaks my heart having to come to terms it might never happen for me.
I didn't even want a grand one. I only wanted simple days waking up together. Doing the groceries. Taking care of each other when we get sick.
Arguing who does the chores. Haha
I still believe in it, but only for everyone else. Not me. It's never going to be me.
I don't want to get to know anyone anymore.
The last time I tried, at the end, he even confessed he just used me when he was lonely. And that's been stuck in my head ever since.
I wish he didn't say that. Because to be fair, it really was just a relationship that didn't work out. Our lives were incompatible. I don't know why he needed to be extra honest. Maybe he wanted to hurt me... idk. I don't think I deserved that.
And I was so careful with my heart that time. I didn't trust easily. I took my time getting to know him. But it happened anyway.
I feel like, that ruined something good in me. Something I'd tried to rebuild and protect. And now there's no getting it back. It's so dark.
I have many "real" problems, but this has been weighing heavy on my chest over the past year so thank you for letting me write.
I'm still so, so sad I failed in love again. It's so corny. Haha
But it really hurts.
With this and everything else, I feel like it's never going to get better for me and often think I'm really just better off dead.
