I’ve been thinking a lot lately, and a couple of other posts this week really got me going.
I’m tired of being everyone’s shoulder to cry on. I’m tired of being taken for granted. I’m tired of giving my all and getting nothing in return.
I have tried, several times during the last few weeks, to reach out to more than one friend because I needed someone to talk to or an escape. None of these people could give me the time of day, when I’ve been there for them on more than several occasions. They couldn’t be bothered when I’ve dropped everything time and again to give them a hand.
I kept holding on to the hope that these people would wake up and start treating me like a person again. I’ve been that teddy bear that a preteen drags out only when they need it and no one is looking.
No more.
I’m taking my soft, fuzzy self to the nearest Build-A-Bear shop and I’m getting my bleeding heart replaced with some balls of steel. And while I’m at it, I’m going to pick up some Watchmen action figures.
I know exactly what you mean and what you’re going through. It’s tough to not have that love or appreciation reciprocated. In related news if you want someone new to befriend and talk to I’ll be there for you. Granted only via internet and phone, but I care. (=- Ciao for now. Reach me if you want.
Watchmen IS awesome! It does the graphic novel and story justice.
Have you heard that Pink song – “Leave Me Alone”?
It sums up this post completely.
@Ted: I am obsessed with Watchmen right now! I’m really pleased so far with the novel and movie, because as I’m reading the novel I see that they did the movie frame-by-frame, and that is awesome! I’m collecting all of the DC Direct action figures now, ha ha ha! I got the Rorschach variant yesterday afternoon.
@Avitable: I hadn’t heard it until I read your comment, but holy crap you’re right! This is my anthem now, ha ha ha!
You should have called me!
@Nikki: I should have! ):
