Grew up feeling unwanted, unloved.. felt like i had no right to even exist. Everything about me unacceptable.. highly senstive.. Yet as a girl, and thru out my life, i'd always find ♡ shaped rocks which to me felt like an assurance of GOD'S love for me. The ♡s were/are always there everywhere.. not like i even look for them.. they just appear in the unlikelyest places. Keeps me going even in my darkest times..

I have been unloved and unwanted all my life. Maybe its time to give up-i cant endure the pain anymore and that nobody loves me for my light that lost me everything including my legs.
