My Problem with Friendship is my

-deep need for consistency

-fear of failure and abandonment

-innate ability to push everyone away

My Problem with Friendship

-makes broken promises feel like shattered glass across my wrists

-leaves me holding my breath for hours

-makes missed phone calls and forgotten, “girl, I have something crazy to tell you” themed text messages remind me that I’m better off keeping secrets to myself.

But to all the people who love me with consistency, thank you for keeping the broken pieces of me together. I love you and I’m sorry I can’t always say it or show it the way you need me to

I am a writer and applied mathematician. I am an introvert who loves writing and sharing my words with the world. Poetry saved my life on so many different occasions so I know that words are incredibly powerful. I just want to be a source of light in this very dark world. The Introvert’s Escape Maneuver is my way of navigating life. Free-Thinking Fridays are the creative's playground. I post poems, think pieces and prose. Self-Love Sundays are when I post motivational pieces about life and the practical applications of Self-Love. View all posts by brianasymone
