(Because you’re supposed to use ‘I feel’ statements, right?) that my feelings have been hurt a lot lately. That 50% of what I say goes in one ear and out the other. That how I feel means nothing and is overlooked because… I dont know… I feel quazi-rejected, inadvertantly pushed aside, and it always seems to be the times when I am opening myself up the most, at my most vulernable moments. I feel that the harder I try, the father I am pushed away. The more I open up, the more I am ignored. The more I try to grow and learn in tandem, the more I end up alone. And I can even begin to explain how horrible that makes me feel and how much it hurts. And when I try to say something, it’s not important enough to be acknowledged. I don’t want any presents, I don’t want any I love you’s, I just want the little things… back.
