This is me, being independent.

I’ve been hearing a lot of, “You don’t trust me huh?” or “How come you never tell me anything?” and to answer that… I’ve learned to handle my things my way. It’s not like I don’t need my friends anymore or I don’t trust them, but I don’t want to rely on someone for my problems. Yeah it’s nice having someone to listen to your day-to-day problems, but people get tired of hearing you complain about your life, especially when they already have a lot going on with theirs. It might even sound like I’m one of those types.. I’m not going to lie either, I sometimes am and I complain about little things too, which brings me to the point that it doesn’t matter when people force me to tell them about how I’m feeling or what’s going on in my head, cause I won’t. I won’t unless I feel like it. And it doesn’t mean that you’re a bad friend for me not being able to trust you with my problems, cause I do; it’s just, I like going solo nowadays. Figure things out by myself. Learn how to make mistakes all by myself. And catch myself right when I’m about to fall— I can’t always run to everyone that’s willing to catch me everytime I trip and hurt myself. 

If you’re my friend, support me. Cheer on the sidelines and say “You’re doing good!” Being that kind of friend to me isn’t being a bad friend. It also doesn’t mean that I’m not willing to share how I feel from time to time. So chill with the “You don’t trust me anymore,” and “I’m being a bad friend cause you can’t even tell me anything.” 

You’re in my life for a reason and that’s definitely not because you’re a bad friend. In conclusion, calm your titties giiiiiiiiirl!

I just want to be i-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t.
