I wish life came with a manual

You know, that it’s funny I feel the same way. I think that I’m a burden on my family & maybe if I just disappeared, their life would somehow be simpler. They’re going through a rough patch. Knowing I would never get away with suicide, I tried to extract myself from their lives. Big mistake. I had a huge fight with my big sister because she said I was avoiding her. I thought she would be happy, but she was angry which confused me. For a week, I was upset, wondering why she lashed out at me for trying to make her life less stressful. That’s when I realized that she was actually hurt by my actions & blamed herself. For a brief moment, she felt like me.

Now, I assure you, I didn’t reply just to vent, I just wanted to share the words my daddy shared with me.

He said that I am his daughter and he loves me. Anything that I need, he’s going to provide for me whether it’s easy or not.

The moral is, some people feel like they’re not good enough of that they don’t belong. That’s hardly true. What they lack is self-confidence. You are important and you’re not a burden. Your family and your boyfriend love you no matter if sometimes it seems they don’t show it. Really, there is only one person that doesn’t love you right now.

That person is you.
