✘ 'Sup, it's your girl, your worst nightmare, the one here to ask more questions you gotta answer honestly. Sooooo. I wanna know who hurt you? You just ranted about how wearing your heart on your sleeve gets it easily shredded, so. Who shredded yours?
“It’s just-” she pauses and tries again- “i-it wasn’t one specific-” Full Grown grits her teeth and rakes her hands through her hair- futilely trying to fight back against the unseen force yanking these unwanted truths out of her.
“It wasn’t one specific person, alright?! It wasn’t! I-It wasn’t even something that happened to me, I just- I’ve SEEN it! Being an adult means letting go of your fruitless childhood endeavors, and your ridiculous notions about the world!”
“It means sacrifice. Sure, I’ve been chewed up and spit out- cast aside like yesterday’s garbage. So what?! That’s life! That’s not why I’m so defensive; I’m so against “love” because it leaves you vulnerable! And that’s a fact!”
“What’s so wrong about wanting to be guarded all the time? Not everything’s sunshine and rainbows, and sometimes it pays to keep to yourself! Push your limits, smash the walls of your childhood apart, spread your wings! But don’t be stupid.”
