don't ever let society conform your views of whatever... whether it be life, love, or happiness. it will end up eating at you. see, society teaches you that you cannot possibly love at age sixteen. but i'm here to tell you that is bullshit. you can love at sixteen. i have loved, and it screwed me over. i've loved so much that it hurt. and i know what real pain is. once you've hit age sixteen, your life is never the same. the way you once thought will change. what made you happy now makes you mad and what made you mad now makes you happy. you will become a whole different person. it will be the hardest time of your life; your friends tell you to do one thing, your parents, school, society, and church tell you another, and yet still, your heart is SCREAMING something different. rejection has run rampant in my life and its impossible for me to trust anyone. see, he walked away. he walked away and left me there to think about all the people i've cared about in my life who have also walked away from me. it all flashed back and terrified me to the point of no return. i hate him for doing that, i hate him for all the broken promises. he started out beside me, and then he just left me. he left me here by myself with nothing to hold on to and nothing to save me. he left me. and i have to tell you, he needs to come back where he's supposed to be- by my side. but that's not going to happen. no one else came back after they left me, so why would he? i credit lauren for that. its so fucking true. i love her for writing it
