For my entire life, I didn’t pay much attention to the specific parts of myself; I only had one thing, one goal, in mind: perfection.

It hurts being alone on the weekend and it hurts not having arms to fall into and it hurts to extend a hand of friendship only to get frostbit by someone’s cold indifference. It hurts not to have any eyes sparkling in your direction and it hurts not being anyone’s first choice.
