That could’ve been me

that could’ve been me…

why wasn’t it me?

why did I have to fuck things up for myself?

why did I stop what looked to have been a good thing before it even happened?

why?

maybe it’s better this way…

I mean if I wouldn’t have turned you away and blocked you out, like I do to every boy that comes my way, you never would’ve been with her…

her…

she’s a perfectly nice girl, sweet and funny and nice and caring and pretty…

maybe you were meant to be with her and I was just the hurtle you had to get over to finally bring you two together.

But I still can’t help but think…

What if I were her?

feardubh: When people turn to fictional characters, it’s often because they want an escape. The stories of these people shelter us from the storm of our daily lives; they save us, if only for a little while. But when we really give in, become invested, let ourselves be vulnerable, something changes. We begin to feel that we know them. It’s no longer just an escape, but part of us, something that makes us who we are. These characters teach us that incredible adversity can be overcome. That people can love each other forever. That life can be an adventure. That magic can be real. And even if these miracles have never happened to us, we begin to go through life believing that, someday, they could. “And I promise you that you’re important. Don’t look at me like that- in all my 900 years I’ve never met someone who wasn’t important.” “Cheer up mate, it gets better. Look at me, I was once a little kid living under the stairs. You’ll do fine.” “Hey. I know it seems like life sucks, that you’ve got the devil on your tail. Hell, sometimes you do. But you’re strong enough to beat him. You’ve got friends at your back and family too, and that’s what really counts in the end.” “Don’t be silly, they’re wrong about you; of course you matter. You’ve always mattered.”
