sometimes when the world makes me feel small, when my existence feels inconsequential, you hold me and make me believe that i'm worth so much more than what i think. you tell me that I'm the heroine, like those in the books you've read, but braver and incomparable. you tell me I'm the main character and the world revolves around me and that my problems are there because it serves as conflicts to my story. everyone treats me the way they treat me because i'm the protagonist. but eventually, i'm going to have my plot twist, my turning point, my happy ending. you tell me that i'm going to be happy, that i deserve to be happy. you make me believe that my life is made of different shades of color, more significant and livelier than what i think. you make me hope that my life isn't one meaningless life among millions of meaningless lives. you make me think that i am one of a kind, like a flower amongst the weeds. and you know, you are such a great story-teller. because when it gets hard, your words get me through. but when it even gets harder, it makes me feel angry with you, because you're a liar and i'm so willing to live in the world of lies you've made up for me. (ooooohhhhhhhhh that's strong.)

@sedapsfovi (also pov: they think their life is just one meaningless life among millions of meaningless lives. and maybe it's true, maybe it's not. maybe the 'you' they're talking about is right about them being special but they just don't think so and doesn't have the self-esteem (hence, the 'you're a liar'statement)) beats the fun when i explain things. but I LOVE THIS PIECE .
