So I guess from today onward, our 1st month, I begin putting on a plastic front with him. It's kind of ironic and absurd but not something I can complain about because I caused this anyway. I was an idiot to think "will you be my girlfriend" means "i'm ready to commit to a relationship with you". I mean, come on. We just dated for a week. I know best that miracles don't happen, not to me at least. Yet I foolishly fell into that fantasy in my head.
So yes, instead of continuing the next few months of this "relationship" exposing my vulnerability, I will build that wall again. That shell, that whatever I used to call it. Mask?
Either ways, I need to stop thinking that I'm a worth a guy showering affection to. I need to stop believing that love can work for me. I need to stop pretending that I won't have to wear the pants.
It won't be that hard will it? I mean, I know I've done it before. I just forgot how. But I'm sure I can do it again. It's just a matter of a little tweaking of my mindset, a little numbing of my feelings, a little change in lifestyle (I'm in need of one anyway. My eyes hurt everytime I touch it now) and a lot of "I'm fine, I'm always fine :)". I've played that line well before. I can do it again for sure.
Cuz now that I'm the blue rose withered black, there's nothing I can't do.
