Sick

Not everything is about you.

You’re not always being attacked, you’re not always the subject… sometimes things happen. Sometimes you may see yourself as the victim.

You’ve never actually been the victim.

People are only the victims in situations like this when they make themselves the victim.

What do you expect? Everyone to always be making sure you’re included in everything, making sure you are always confortable, always happy?

I think some people need a backbone.

I see that look, I feel that vibe. I know when you’re going to dwell on it later, feel hurt about it, whatever.

And sometimes I try to make you feel better, so that I won’t be the one you’re thinking is oblivious later.

But there is a point where I stop. Because I don’t want to always tip-toe around you, to make sure I don’t hurt your feelings.

So I stopped tip-toeing. A while ago. And I can see the results.

I stopped for two reasons. One: I was sick of it. Two: No one ever did for me.

I’m selfish and I know it.
