THIS BOAT IS OBVIOUSLY SINKING!!!

Breathe . Take in lots of air and then spit it out.

I'm tired of letting others impinge on my heart. I am so proud of who I am, mistakes and all. My feelings have been hurt too much by people that I invest so much time and effort into; I guess you could say I'm sort of putting a wall up. I deserve that kind of protection and inevitably it'll save myself and everyone around me a lot of heartache and bother. It's a new decade and a new me, I'm going to maintain a mature outlook on life and for those around me. I also can't expect any entity to be something they're not.

I pride myself as being someone who has never lashed out or spoken bad-mannered words to a person I care about. I never intentionally hurt or make fun of. I'll think it (I'm human), but I always hold it inside, where I keep a lot of things. But I'm done holding unneccesary emotion inside, it's only bruising my soul.

Sticks & stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me because I'll never be perfect; I know that. You are safe with me, because I am going to move forward with love. Only love.

Go me!
