underpar.

to be told that you're not good enough.

to be told that in some way or another, something about you is wrong.

to be told that you're deficient in something.

& to be told that in front of other people and watch their reactions.

makes me feel this small.

& to go to someone to feel better & for them to say something insensitive.

makes me realize that i'm the only one that can make myself feel better.

nothing that anyone will say will make me feel better.

w/e.

i'll get over it.

just give me a few minutes.

a little time to cry.

then i'm good.

meet me on the corner of "i don't care what people think about me" and "grow thicker skin, ashlee. it's okay."
