I am feeling very defeated. As cool, and as much street cred as I would love to think I have, inside, I am a pussy. I put myself out there... Heart on my sleeve. For people I care about, I put their feelings above my own. It's emotionally overwhelming when you realize you are giving everything and it's not reciprocated. It's a struggle for me not to pick apart myself, looking for reasons why the feeling isn't mutual... When I should simply have the confidence to move on. I know I am a catch. I have a lot to offer...but the mind is a crazy thing. I sat down and instead of thinking about all my flaws, I started writing things that make me happy... in attempt to clear my mind
