People suck

Why is it so hard to be the one to end a friendship. I finally stood up to this person that kept using me and not giving enough back to my friendship. Now I feel like I didn something wrong. I just don't know what to do anymore. Part of me wants to call and apologise but I know thats not right. All I want is for him to act like he cares that I might never speak to him again. All I've ever wanted is to feel like I mattered to him. All I want right now is to feel like I matter to more than one person. Or to feel like I have a future. I just wish I knew how to make these feelings go away. Now I'm gonna be up all night trying to calm myself down and distract myself long enough that I can stop myself from cutting. Hes probably already asleep because he just doesn't care and it HURTS! I don;t know how much longer I can go on being this down all the time. I tried to reach out and it stabbed me in the back.

i care about you a lot. i'm not just saying that...i actually do! and you're right, it sucks ending a friendship, but if you're the only one giving, you'll get sucked dry eventually. i know cuz i've been sucked dry before...and it was hell trying to recover. i ended that friendship and it was very hard for me...but the end result was me having more emotional resources so i could take care of myself. people kept telling me that if i didnt take care of myself, it wouldnt matter that i couldnt be there for her anyway, cuz i wouldnt be there for anyone. does that make sense? sometimes i cant exactly make what's in my head come out making sense. i know how you must feel and trust me it does get better. if you need to talk, message me...please. i love to chat.

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
