I'm tired of being strong all the time. I'm tired of understanding everyone else's reasons and ended up I'm being misunderstands by the very person. I'm tired of being the one who waits, hopes, forgives, adjusts, and stays gentle while knowing I slowly burning out. I really want someone to choose me without hesitation. I want to stop feeling like I have to earn love, care, or protection. And I'm really truly exhausted from carrying all of this by myself.
