The Thing Is, I Know I Can Survive.

I want you to make me feels things I’ve never felt before. I want to know what its like to be loved by you.

-A.d.c

Growing up neglected can mean you don’t feel like you get to be picky about who gives you attention or what kind of attention you even get, you cling onto anyone who acknowledges your existence and it can end up so painful

i am a mistake. i am a complete mistake. i am the regret that people confront. i am a complete waste of time. i ruin peoples lives without ever intending to. this is who i am.

"Nobody want you in their lives."
