One thing about me is that I do not like change, change makes me so incredibly uncomfortable that I can barely function. Changing my address, going from a house full of people to being alone, having my dog be the only one greeting me at the door with a wagging tail, and to have the entire apartment silent unless it’s myself singing out. It feels almost unnatural not to have someone right there in the next room asking about how your day went.

I am by no means a social person, however, I require a soft touch or a kiss on the cheek every so often and It looks like I will be walking in to silence. I’ll be placed back into a box, getting placed on a shelf, shoved to the back making room for new things, collecting dust, until I meet my ultimate demise – a donation bin to the next person to love and put aside.

I just have to learn that sometimes, you’re not built for some people. You may have qualities that will suit people. You’re funny, you’re smart, you’re beautiful. But these qualities maybe enough until the next thing comes along, then there are other qualities that may look or seem, better. You’re not built to be anybody else other than you, don’t try to upgrade yourself to please another person.

The best thing about staying who you are, is that you are built perfectly to someone else. They will love you for the way you speak your mind, the way you stand up for other people, the way you laugh, the way smile, the way you always care for other’s even when they don’t care for you… Someone is out there, looking for exactly who you are.

Being properly taken care of, loved, and respected is, and will always be, a necessity. Do not let someone else tell you that you’re impossible when all you ask for is minimum effort, you deserve more than that.

Pay attention to what they say and how they treat you, people will tell you exactly how they feel about you within those small actions. Don’t overwork yourself trying to make things okay when you are the only one trying. Invest in people who invest in you back and you will never question where you are in life.

So maybe you aren’t built for them, you know what that means? They aren’t built for you either, there is someone out there who is.
