i looooooooove being reminded how downright lonely i could potentially feel...
M: don't you miss a certain someone?
I: huh no i don't have anyone to miss
M: that's kinda sad
I: no it's easier that way
i absolutely hate being made to feel like i need to depend on someone's company.
dependence is taxing, painful, disempowering.
on all sides.
no one is fond of those feelings.
i won't let my guard down like that anymore.
