Feelings Quote by Anonymous
“Im not always as confident as I seem. There are many nights and many days when all I want is to be held. I love being held. Always. Sometimes I dont want to talk about what is bothering me. Sometimes I just want a hug. Someone who will let me cry. I like when boys cry in front of me when people arent afraid to show what theyre really feeling. I dont like when people run from their true feelings because it doesnt do anyone any good. I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I am not naive. I know what it feels like to be completely broken and I am all too familiar with what it means to be hurt. I know what its like to see something funny and not laugh. Ive been taken advantage of, used, and abused. My feelings have been blatantly disregarded. But I still believe that all people are good at heart. And my trust in people has not diminished. To be completely honest, I hope it never does. Ever.”
