sometimes, it's harder to resonate with others, because you're trying to be this and that, sound like you've been through it all, and know what it's actually like to be in a hardship that's not a first world problem or a sham that's expiration date is coming up in a day or two. i've never been the type to be someone i'm not, or act a certain way to different people, whether the motives revolved around first impressions or a few extra points on a stupid scale that supposedly said more about the consensus of my life than my personality and the impending, winding autobiography that's stored in my head. i apologize if i was ever selfish and made situations about me, me, me and didn't care about the words that you stored away for so long in a neatly packaged, air tight locked door of your past reveries and forgotten regrets.
