sometimes i just want to feel taken care of.
i want to feel sexy, beautiful, loved.
instead, i feel lonely and bored and, sometimes, neglected and taken for granted. it’s not true when i say i don’t expect much from anyone. i do expect something – some degree of respect, gratitude, appreciation. i feel like the effort is lost. why does this happen? how do people keep that feeling alive? the passion? the excitement? the anticipation?
i do appreciate the little things, small acknowledgements here and there lift up my heart. tokens of appreciation: a card, a thoughtful gift, even a flower.
almost 3 years and i feel like something’s gotten lost along the way.
i understand that it works both ways, and i try to keep my emotions in check.
like i said: i appreciate the little things, but it’s also some of the little things that can get me down.
i don’t feel like i’m being heard. i don’t feel like i’m being taken seriously.
i feel like i’m falling to pieces.
