talk to me… I know that you’re most likely not there, and that you don’t really care. But I’m going to talk to you anyways.
I turn 18 this Sunday. I’m not very excited about it. I know I should be - everyone else gets excited, becomming of age and all that ( I live in Australia ).
There’s something that is nagging me though. I’m almost 18, and I’ve never had a boyfriend. I’ve never experienced a kiss, even a hold. I wish I could say I don’t care, that I know the right guy will come along eventually, it’ll just be when I least expect it. But I do care. And I find that hard to believe these days.
There’s got to be something wrong with me. I know people say there isn’t, but there has to be. I’m not pretty enough, or I’m too fat, or I have a shitty personality. I don’t know. But there’s got to be something- why else would I be alone?
It isn’t passion or sex I crave. All I want is comfort with another person. Just to be able to lie side by side together, holding each other, drifting off to sleep together. That’s all. And so recently I’ve begun to simply pretend to myself that I have someone, lying there next to me. I wish and hope and imagine so much that I really can almost feel it. Almost.
I am so pathetic for doing so. But nobody appears to want me.
i do care. my heart sank when i read what you wrote. you are not pathetic at all.
please forgive me, i have to run to work right now…
thank you for talking to me. i know that it must be really hard for you to talk about.
i was trying to think about what to say to you. i wish i could make you feel loved and feel special. i know it doesn’t feel like it, but you are still at the beginning of your life. and everything that lies in front of you depends on you, no one else. it doesn’t matter what happens to you, but it does matter how you react. don’t let it get you down, and don’t sit by waiting for something to come to you. live you life and have fun and the more you love yourself and those around you, the more you will be loved.
just by what you wrote, i see that you are a really amazing person with a warm heart. don’t let the lack of attention now get you down. take your birthday and make it a turning point in you life.
thank you for writing to me and giving me the benefit of the doubt. if there is anything i can do for you on your birthday, let me know :) october 4th is a good day for a birthday.
