even if we are destined to walk the path we have chosen all on our own,

I just hope that when I turn around,

I calmly watch my castle crumbleand my heart tumble

there are moments when I seriously question my position in someone's life. especially someone who does mean something to me. 

if it were a few years ago, whenever doubts arise, I would just come forward and voice my thoughts, bluntly.

yet now I cannot just find the power to do so. I do not want to confront people around about their feelings for me anymore. or to be more exact, maybe those things no longer matter to me much. why should they, honestly? so what if to others I am just someone replaceable, someone easy to discard? even if it is true, so what? will I change myself to win their affection? most likely not.

if so, why would I need to know? 

back then, knowing that I matter makes me feel competent. makes me feel humane. makes me feel wholesome, confident, loved.

now I just let go of all expectations. of others. from others. only my own matter. truly.

'When you grow up, your heart dies.'

not that I believe so, wholly.

but it is true that the coming-of-age years can be such a fucking mess: we feel lost and struggle financially, or emotionally, or physically, or worse, in all aspects; we wonder when this period will end, when we will come to terms with our own identity and the life we live.

there are times it would become so clear to me: I would certainly end up in hell.

no matter how suffocated I am being on the receiving end of others' overflowing affection, I just cannot justify my blunt to the verge of cruel behaviors towards those who treasure me with all their heart.

do I even deserve that?
