My New Year’s Resolution was to stop thirsting after guys.
This has been my resolution for the last three years.
It took me three weeks to fail this resolution this time.
This time I truly thought that I could love myself, that I am enough for myself, but I have never learned what it was like for someone to love me, and I learn through example.
The only time a man has ever said they loved me was when I had my mouth wrapped around them, so I guess by example I learned to open an app whenever I want to feel Love.
Love has never lasted long.
These men have never lasted long, not as long as I last.
My heart doesn’t know how long it will last without love, so I guess that’s why this app never stays deleted for long, because as long as I can get a man off, maybe my heart can last longer than
my New Year’s Resolution.
