All of that right there.....above.....is something I wrote to my now ex as we were calmly discussing what happened between us and why I made the decision I did. And out of nowhere my mind goes in suuuuper deep and I came up with this metaphor to describe myself when it came to him. The more I go back and reread it the more it saddens me. And I feel depressed. Because it forces me to unintentionally think about my past relationships before him. And the fact this applies to AAAAALL my past relationships! This is how everyone treated me. I'm now believing that I was NOT cut out for the whole "so called love" thing because I see a pattern in all my relationships. Different faces, names, backgrounds childhood, life story and lifestyle....the end result once they became an adult remains the same. I was rejected by all of them regardless of how good I was to them. It wasn't enough, they were broken people. And acted like they didn't want the help to heal, they acted like they didn't want to get themselves right so they can be happy and enjoy life with me. So they ran. But I was the shiny new toy they didn't know how to take care of and handle properly. It's sad right?
