Words
Do they mean anything anymore? Why can't people just say what they mean, and mean what they say? I just feel like venting right now, so I'm going to. I feel like I give all of my emotions to people. Sometimes I don't have words to express how I feel, but I try to find them. For example, one time I told Mrs.Hough, "I really love you. I mean, I really love you a lot." When I care about someone, I tell them. It shouldn't be hard to do, but on rare occasions it is. I find that when I express my feelings, I get a reply that sounds like it was out of obligation. Kind of like the other person is thinking, "Gee, she really put herself out there. She really does care about me. I should probably say something back." (I'm talking about every type of relationship, friendships/dating/family). But I don't need to hear it back if it's out of obligation, I would rather not if that's the case. I just want honesty. I know that it hurts sometimes, but I'm a big girl and I can handle it.
I suppose I'll continue to tell people how I feel about them as I make and develop more friendships, without expecting anything in return. But I won't ever say something that isn't true because I feel obligated to.
