Hi,

I know your kind.
You give without receiving.
You try without results.
You love without reciprocity.
You hurt but he doesn't notice.
He never does.

It hurts.
You hurt.

It's frustrating.
You want to give up.

You decide to give up.

Things suddenly get better.

You see hope.
You start trying again.
That flicker of hope suddenly starts to dim.

Wait - where is it going? You just saw it.
Were you just seeing things?
NO, you weren't. You saw it. It was just there.
Where did it go?

You search. You try your hardest to find it.
You rummage through the wildwood.
You get hurt in the journey.
You have the scars to prove it.
They wear you down.

Should you give up?
Maybe it was something else. Maybe it wasn't a flicker.
Something... else?
It might be your fault.
You might be driving yourself mad.
It's definitely your fault.
Totally your fault.
As usual, always your fault.

Loathing.
Pity.
Sadness.
Helplessness.
Isolation.
Loneliness.

Now what.

Retreat.
Exhaustion.
Tears.

Frost.






NO MORE.

ENOUGH.

STAND UP.

Remember: We can only experience happiness after experiencing sadness. We can only feel joy after feeling pain. We can only know love after we have been heartbroken.

Congratulations. You are now more well-equipped than ever to be a shiny, happy being.

// Or as a very hip friend of mine would say: YOLO!!!!
So stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Stop it.
Get up. 
Now.
