Being done Quote by Jessie Jakeway
“Ya know, its one thing to try so hard to have a relationship with a romantic interest... But it's a totally different feeling when its a family member, no matter how much you want to give up you can't because its family, and family is suppose to be there for you... But it's too hard to just keeping trying when the person who you are trying so hard to be close with doesn't seem to understand that all you want is there love and attention, and it's even more upsetting when they treat you like just an acquaintance... All I can do now is smile and say I tried.. :/”
