I wrote a post on Tumblr
about being annoyed. At the time that I wrote it, I couldn't quite put my finger on why I was so annoyed. But it was more than that, it was rejection, it was hurt, it was being able to feel the pain that's racing through my heart. I don't have any clever words or pictures to do what I'm feeling justice. So I found some quotes that I had written down a long time ago and I'm going to post them, hopefully this will make me feel better.
emotional pain is just like physical pain, when your heart can't take it anymore you just go numb
Sometimes it's easier to smile and pretend you're happy instead of trying to explain why you're not
Unlike a wound to the flesh, a wound to the heart takes longer to heal. Sometimes it doesn't even heal at all
You don't have to touch another girl to cheat on your girlfriend. Words are cheating too. Lying about it is even worse
Trust issues are usually brought about by being with somebody that has honesty issues.
if I meant so much to you, and you truly need me so much, why do you keep cutting me down and treating me like garbage?
If you treat me like I don't matter, then don't be upset when I decide you don't matter
You didn’t love her. You just didn’t want to be alone. Or maybe, maybe she was good for your ego. Or maybe she made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn’t love her, because you don’t destroy the person that you love.
I agree with all of your post quotes, but there's one....
"Trust issues are usually brought about by being with somebody that has honesty issues."
This one made me say 'Wow' out loud in the office. It's so true, but I've never made the connection. I do have issues with trust...ones that I have to deal with when I meet someone new. Each meaningful relationship I've been in, save one early one and the one I'm in, had ended with them cheating. Sometimes I fear that because its happened to me a few times that maybe I'm to blame. What is it about me that makes my partner cheat? (That's a tough one to throw out in public folks.) Or is it even 'me'?
This one has stuck with me for many years. I've always blamed myself for "lacking" something that has satisfied the men I've been with. But honestly, if they're the ones cheating, they're the ones with issues of their own. It's not my fault that I'm not enough for them, and quite frankly, I'm sick of making myself feel that way.
