i feel like this needs to be said: you literally can’t ask or expect anyone to drop everything for you and operate under your terms at all times. you can’t expect people to always be there for you and always choose you in any given ultimatum. sacrifice cannot be expected or asked for, it has to be freely given. and just because someone loves you, that doesn’t mean everything they do will be done with you in mind. if you have a problem with that, then you are the problem.
yeah, i’m taking a hiatus from dating for awhile. i don’t want to go into too much detail on here, but essentially i have some personal problems that i need to work through before dating will be feasible for me.
this holiday season was unexpectedly a really rough one for me. as i’ve gotten older it’s become impossible to ignore all of the ways in which my family is dysfunctional. there are so many things that i wish were different, especially with my parents, and it just plain hurts.
the good news is whether my family makes progress on their issues or not, i have insight into my problems and where they originated from now and i am doing the work to better myself. i wish they were different, but i don’t NEED for them to be different in order for me to make positive changes in my life. i will keep pushing through regardless.
do you have any secrets that you've never told anyone before?

there’s nothing that i’ve never told ANYONE about, but i can think of a couple of things where only the people involved know about it and i don’t talk to anyone else about it. i have one sort of big secret that only one person knows about because they’re involved in it and one other thing that i’m just embarrassed about and so i don’t talk about it.
