I Will Always Wonder If There Was Potential For What We Could Have Been
It wasn’t you, as painfully cliché as it is, it’s true. It wasn’t you, it was never you – it was always me. I’m the one who isn’t ready for love.

There are no Hollywood movie endings where everything works out because it’s fake. Nope, not in Shameless, everything on camera is painfully real – people lying, leaving, fucking you over and things falling apart. It reminds you that you’re not alone.
You’ll ruin your life by continuously pouring from an empty glass. You can only give so much before you have to take a break and refuel yourself. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish, it’s necessary.
You can pretend that it doesn’t bother you, but it’s so much easier to lie to the people around you than it is to lie to yourself. So let me ask you something, if you are so busy covering up and avoiding your flaws and insecurities, why do you think it’s okay to pinpoint other people’s?
I think that scariest thing about this all is that I’ve become so used to being on my own.
You’re making your life harder than it has to be when you fail to take any risks, when you’re always settling. You shouldn’t settle in life, stop waiting for the ‘perfect’ moment to go after what you want because honestly, the perfect moment will never come.
You get up because you know you have to. You get up because you don’t want people to worry because you think that’s what being strong is. You tell your friends everything is fine, you laugh with them and you go out to eat with them. You act like nothing in the world is bothering you.
You’re fully convinced that your life is so much better than other people’s, that you’re so much more superior than they are because of X, Y and Z. You put other down so much that you convince yourself you’re so great when you’re just ignoring the fact that you’re fucking miserable.
The truth is the less you want people the more they want you back, the more they crave your attention because the one who cares less is always the one with the most control.
You’ve always been in control, you’ve just never realized it.
