Getting old : An Introduction

"I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing, with a broken heart, that's still beating." - Lifehouse So, its just another day in lame ass Georgia. My parents had a bbq today, they invited most of their friends. I've pretty much kept to myself since my boyfriend left, who by the way is getting on my last nerves. I'm 17 years old, and hes 21. Don't judge me. I'm writing this mostly for myself, I really just like to write, and vent. No one seems to listen to me anymore, and writing things down keeps me sane. I'll be a senior next year, which I'm excited and nervous about. I do relatively good in school, however I lost almost all of my friends due to my up tight and controlling relationship. I never complained before, but I'm starting to see the toll its taken on my life. I guess insecurity gets the best of anyone, and hes very insecure. I feel lost in the too big world, sometimes. And other times I feel as if I'm on top of the world, but is the feeling of loneliness worth it? I'm not so sure anymore, and although I don't ever see me ending this relationship, it crossed my mind sometimes, where I'd be if I never started talking to him, I'd have friends, that's for sure. My family loves me, and I love them, but sometimes I feel like its me against the the world. I try and talk to people, to express my feelings they all turn their back on me, and when my parents ask me what's wrong, I smile at them and say nothing, or I'm just tired, I don't feel good, but none of those are the correct answer. I'm not fine, I need people to understand me, I want him to understand me, he's all I have anymore, and I was more than willing to make that sacrifice, but it doesn't seem worth it anymore, he never understands me. I ask him all the time if he wants to be in this relationship, and he tells me he does, promises me he'll show it and prove it, but its always the same things. I could cry myself to sleep, and he wouldn't even comfort me, as a matter of fact its happened before. I was never like this, before I made him my life, and now I feel as he knows I won't ever break it off with him, so he does what he wants. Its getting old, as the title of this entry suggests, but I guess it never gets too old, all the tears I shed, the mean things he does, never get too old for me to put my foot down. I swore, after seeing so many people be in bad relationships that it would never be me, but look at me now, I've went against everything I stood for, so now its like I'm leaning, taking anything that comes along, with a fake smile, and a "I'm fine, really." One day, I'll find my ground to stand on, I just hope its not too late. Because you can lose everything, but once you lose yourself, it gets difficult to put the pieces together. - That's all folks. Don't judge me, and if you have shit to talk, take it somewhere else.
