after a while i guess one learns just how things work. you enter in with a certain type of innocence. but then that is shattered when you're betrayed. it's shattered when you get your hopes up and they come crashing down. when something happens to you that you never thought would ever happen. when you become another statistic...
after all that, you either choose to a) harden your heart or b) keep a shred of that innocence around.
a lot's happened and i've lost quite a bit. i've lost my religion. i've lost approximately 28 days of my life. i lost something that i used to like about myself. i've lost something that used to make me beautiful.
i can't do anything to get some of these things back. i try my best not to think about it, but honestly it makes me somewhat depressed sometimes.
it takes a very, very long time to forgive sometimes.
when you have nowhere to put your anger, many times it turns inwards and you end up hating yourself.
