So often, I feel like there is no one around me who truly cares about me; no one around me who I matter to.
I give everything for those I love.
I have no time for myself anymore.
I'm always helping those people I love in one way or another.

..and yet when I'm in need no one's there.

My heart hurts.
This solitude is destroying me.

I want to cry but I can't.
I want to sleep but I won't.

I just want to feel like there's someone out there who I matter to.. instead of the other way around.. is it really.. truly so much to ask?

Well, sometimes it can feel that way Silent. I have a feeling that your parents may be only into themselves. I know you struggle and there is a reason for it, not your fault. Sometimes when we give so much, it can become expected and others begin to think we are much stronger and independant then we are and don't need help.

You are still young you know, and you will be off going to college and meeting other people. It takes time to find them, but there are nice people out in the world, people that can be more caring and giving. I am sure that because you are so into the arts, you will have a good chance of meeting some good people. While creative people can have their quarks, some of them can be very sensitive and kind. So, please, give it time ok?

You are a young talented attractive young lady, very lucky in ways you don't recognize yet. And you're going to be a lovely woman too. You will find your nich, you have to be patient, oh, I know it isn't easy to be patient, but give it some time.

Not too much to ask at all. We all need that. Unfortunately so few of us have friends we can really count on and either no friends at all or just "friends" who only take and do not or cannot give back .

PC cares and I care.

You deserve it.

I will also use this advice. It is easy to feel discouraged. I too need to be reminded that there is good out there.

thanks,

Thank you,

One thing I always fail to see/admit(/permiss perhaps?) is how I would be considered attractive. I've been told I have beautiful eyes; that I can see- then again I'm a real sucker for most any eyes if I get to looking at them long enough...that's about as far as I can see it though.

and it's really not easy to be patient when you think about it, but time flies effortlessly when distracted... if only I had more distractions recently... <:]
