— Nick, The Great Gatsby. (via opticalnerves)
Sorry I’m standoffish. Sorry I don’t give people second chances. Sorry I’m not the type to act like nothing is wrong when I dislike you. I’m not fake. Dont hate me for that. I’ve been screwed over one too many times to keep sweeping things under the rug and forgetting people’s mistakes. I’m not angry, and I really don’t want to fight. But you’re absolutely right, I want nothing to do with you. What happened is sad, sure. But I’m not putting myself through it again. Not again. I’m not dealing with negative people in my life, I’m not willing to fight for this relationship that has been so toxic for the majority of my life. I’m not denying the good times, I’m not saying they never happened or didn’t exist. I’m not denying that you were my best friend. But what you did changed that. And some things, you just can’t take back. You can’t just take back lost time. It doesn’t work like that. I picked myself up, I moved on. You can do the same. I’m not anyone’s second best.
