Let me refresh your memory a bit. I was the one who listened to your problems. I was the one who actually cared about you. I was the one who stuck around when everyone told me to leave. I was the one who stood up for you. I was the one who loves you when you gave me every reason not to. Lastly, I was the one who was there for you...when no one else was.

The boy that wanted to kill himself had the deepest passion for cooking.
The girl with slits and scars all over her body, dried my tears and told me I was beautiful.
The boy with anger issues gave the warmest hugs.
The girl with bulimia told everyone every day that they looked beautiful in their bodies.
The boy who was a compulsive liar told us he wanted us all to get better, and that he was for once telling the truth.
The girl who almost drank herself to death stood up for anyone who felt they were being bullied.
The boy with social anxiety, made sure nobody sat alone at meals.
We are not who you think we are.

Me: I just want to leave and forget everything and everyone. I want to leave and never look back. I want to start over and be someone new...someone no one knows. Ya know? It just sounds so freeing.
Friend: it sounds lonely.
Me: sometimes lonely is good. Lonely means no one is around to hurt you.
