No one is ever going to want me
I just have to vent. I just needed to share this somewhere. I hope that's okay.
It's always the same boulder that I have to roll up the same mountain. It always ends like this, so I don't know why I'm surprised.
I met her a couple months back when we joined Kendo at the same time. I was attracted to her from when I first saw her. Slowly, we started to talk and get to know each other. Eventually, I got a first date with her. We went for dinner, then went to an arcade together. I thought it went okay. It probably wasn't the best date she ever had, and I was kinda awkward sometimes, but it was okay. We kept talking and all that, and I still loved being with her.
There was a second date. It's the only time I've ever gotten a second date in my life. We'd just finished our morning Kendo class, went home to get changed, then went to see a movie together. After that, I brought her to visit the bazaar for awhile, then we went to this video game cafe, and finally got dinner. We were together for the whole day, from 9am to 1130pm, and it was the absolute best day of my life. If I had died that night and the Devil asked me if it was a life well-lived, I'd have to actually pause and think about it. That day could've made up for all the pain in this life. Getting to spend the whole day with such an amazing girl... I'd trade everything just to live that day again, and again, and again.
But life went on. A new guy joined our Kendo class recently, and she's been talking to him so much. Today I had dinner with all of them, and... It hurt. It hurt so much. To see her purposefully walk beside him, stand beside him. She's usually very introverted, but she talked to him so much. The worst part was the way she smiled at him and looked at him. There's always someone better than me. She's never smiled at me like that before, never looked at me like that before. There's always someone better than me.
I'm always rolling the same boulder up the same mountain, and I always get crushed just the same. It always ends like this. Someone better. Either that someone comes along, or she knows that someone will come along. I'm never good enough. But I thought now might be different. I really, really believed that maybe this time, I'd get to love someone and be loved back. Maybe this time, I'd have my chance at happiness. Maybe this time, I'd finally be what someone wants.
I can't keep going. I can't do it. If it's always gonna be like this, why bother? I've been begging for someone all my life. And no matter how close I think I get, I'm farther away than I've ever been. I drink a lot these days to try to make everything numb for awhile. I was sober all my life, not even a drop of alcohol. But I can't go without it now. At least once in awhile. I have to take the edge off.
It's so hard. I don't know what to do. I just want to die. If no one wants me, then I don't want me either.
