knowing how to be loved






I'll probably die alone 'cause I'm lazy.


    My story actually goes way back. 

    As a kid, I really didn't have a problem with being alone and also probably dying alone. I even used to brag about it, Yeah I know, not necessarily a genius I was. Don't exactly know when and why but at some point, I started questioning my approach against romantic relationships. It turned out I don't have any approach because I don't have any romantic relationships. Don't know why but it's just so much easier not to care. I mean I really was always avoiding all kinds of feelings because it is so exhausting to feel, you know what I mean, right? You would have to introduce yourself to a brand new person, not just some "Hi, my name is blablabla and I study blablabla nice to meet you!". you would have to really introduce yourself. You have to make sure that the person knows you for who you really are. I don't know if it is just my crazy or everyone has it but I have this weird belief, that I am actually quite lovable and girlfriend material if only a person knew me for who I truly am. And that sir, takes a lot of time and hard work and (to be honest) a lot of care. Of course, I want to be loved, I want to be cared about, and all the other things couples are supposed to have going on that I wouldn't know. But it is just so risky you know, trying to trust someone and making them important for you. Then that person just screws you over and there you are, not only single, now you are left alone, you are sad, and got serious trust issues. At some point, you think it will always be the same and the right person is just not going to find you.


Well, this is pretty much what many people experience. I didn't. And that my friends, is the problem with me. What do I have to worry about? I am not supposed to have trust issues, I am not supposed to be scared of men, I am not supposed to be full of hate against dating even as a concept. Now as you see, this raises the question of whether I've gotten insane already


    Well, I don't want to be mean but I gotta say, I pretty much raised myself and of course, I wasn't perfect. I taught myself everything, how to be strong, how to be successful, I even managed to go to places filled with adults and make them take me seriously as a 12-year-old child. Meantime, I couldn't teach myself how to be loved, instead, I learned how to love and care -THANK GOD I HAD THE BEST FRIENDSHIPS 'TILL TODAY- . Indeed, I wasn't the most popular kid at my school -there were actual ballerinas or figure skaters or whatever- but I was a member of a much rarer and unique group, I was a survivor. I had near-death experiences since I was like what, 5 years old?

    When you are a child, facing death of course changes you but not as much as being separated from your peers at school. I had to stay at the hospital for many weeks and months and every time that I got back, the kids wouldn't sit next to me, they would whisper in each other's ears stuff that their parents told them like not to sit close to the girl with a serious disease, which would be me. Of course, my parents were there for me and always loved me, supported me. The thing is, they were never aware of any sort of problem that is been going on in my life. I never talked about myself or my day or the things the other kids did to me at a friend's birthday party. I know I can't blame them, they didn't know. But the realistic outcome was that I was on my own now and I had to fight all my battles with a smile on my face so that they didn't suspect anything.

    So I started to be the best at everything possible. I just needed to be loved by them without any questions asked. I was so fucked, I was so broken; I hid it to death. Still, I turned 21 and I still can't tell anyone. I couldn't let anyone in. I thought I must bury what I had inside me and if I ever let anyone get too close, they would find out what a child I am, and how much I still can't feel like a fully-developed adult. 

Now, I can study, I can work, I can make money, I can live, but I don't know how to be alive.

'Cause I don't know how to be loved...
