I have been damaged more than once and I am still recovering. Many people have broken my heart, hopes and dreams. I was depressed about it but I never allowed myself to let others see a frown on my face or know that I am hurting inside but day by day, my anger and my sadness grew and grew until I could not hold it any longer. The best way for me to express my feelings was by writing but that is irrelevant. I got shut out by the people I loved. No matter how many times I’d tell them that I like them, I love them, I miss them or tell them how special they are to me, it never seems to get through to them. I guess I’m that kind of person….to be forgotten, to be invisible, ignored, excluded, and even isolated. Recently, I have come to a realization that I may not “love” anyone for a very long time. I may come to a point where I’ll “like” someone from time to time but there will never be a point where I will fall in love with them. The only time I will ever fall in love with someone again is if that someone gives me a reason to be in love again - to smile like never before, laugh, hope, have dreams, and become filled with happiness. But, as for now, I am satisfied with my life as a single lady and I am never ever going to let anyone see me in pain whether it be emotionally or physically.
