Too personal for a Valentine's Day post

I almost want to be in a relationship with someone. To get to know another person on a deeper level. To let them see the sides of me that I don’t dare show anyone. To be vulnerable with them. But I can’t, and I won’t. Because being vulnerable with someone also means accepting the risk of being hurt and thrown away. Of becoming nothing.
Which hurts.
Especially after all of this effort in starting to become something in this beautiful, crappy world. However, I now realize that no matter what kind of shit happens, I’ll always still be something. Something important on a very personal level. And I’m still trying to see that.
But it’s hard, it’s hard, it’s hard.
