Remember what it felt like when you were a kid and you would get so involved in something? You'd be so gung-ho about it and you'd talk it up to all the other kids. You'd triumphantly yell "yeah, we can do this! LET'S GO." You'd take off running and get a little ways only to turn around and realize that you're running by yourself. It left you confused and upset; you spoke so passionately about what could be and how you saw it happening in your head, but no one else saw it that way.

Imagine that happening at 26. Between only you and one other person.

Sometimes, I feel like I try so hard to get nothing but pain in return. It's a terrible feeling and it leaves me with a broken heart.

I know some people think "oh, just change it then," but it's so much more complicated than that. There's so much invested here..
