I come off strong willed to most people I know. I'm not. I want to accept me to the extent that I selfishly give everything in hopes that someone will remember me. That someone will look at me and not see me. They'll look at me and see this person who deserves life, who deserves hope, who deserves so much more than this, this thing that can't even put words together to describe what she is.
And the worst part is, I know, I FUCKING KNOW, this previous paragraph is the insecurities I try to fucking hide to such an extent that sometimes I don't even know that they are there talking. I FUCKING KNOW THEY ARE!
Because, in all honesty, this isn't me. I've never been me. My whole life is centered around these insecurities I've instilled in myself. Every fucking thing is a result of these insecurities.
But without them, without these fears and anxieties motivated by insecurities, I have nothing. I don't even know who I am without these things even though I know they are distinctly NOT ME!
But I don't know what else to do, who else I can be, and that scares me.
