“It's ironic how as soon as you quit playing other peoples games and demand the truth... It's that person you lose. You fight for so long hoping they will stay in your life simply because you want them to. We live in a world where we revolve our whole world around people who we want in our life…” quote by Cassidy Correa

“It's ironic how as soon as you quit playing other peoples games and demand the truth... It's that person you lose. You fight for so long hoping they will stay in your life simply because you want them to. We live in a world where we revolve our whole world around people who we want in our life. Instead of the people we need. We lose sight of everything that's important and will bow down at our knees for the wrong people to avoid feeling lonely. It's no coincidence that once we stand up, the other person walks. It's hard letting go; I know, but it's even harder fighting for something that isn't worth the fight. No kind of lonesome is better than the other, but if I had to choose... I would rather not feel alone in a crowded room. I would rather feel alone because I AM alone, and because everyone up and left once I committed to self respect. Once I showed what has been UN-seen the whole few moments they knew me they leaved. After dealing with this my whole life, I finally realized that the problem isn't me. The problem is the wrong people I try to keep around for the right things. Now I have more faith than I ever had, in myself because the beautiful part is... I had no help. I'm alone but I'm stronger than ever because I'm doing this on my own. A new adventure awaits and this time I'll keep my distance, and stay far away. Once I see a person of interest I'll make them wait... and for once in my life, If I can feel them fighting to remain living under my name, then I'll let them stay. I don't need anyone to kneel on their knees, just the same respect, love and patience that they receive out of me.”
