#but not “haha” funny

[three-cheers-for-green-tea]

No one talks about how hard it is to open up to people and let them in, trust them, believe them when they say "I'll be there.", "I care.", "You can talk to me.", "We're friends/family.". How hard it is to let your walls down and allow yourself to believe that someone truly means it when they tell you they hold space for you in some capacity. No matter how small.

You crack your chest open for those people and carve them out a cozy little space in your ribcage. You keep it safe and you guard it because you believe they did the same for you.

No matter what, no matter how long - you keep that space for them and only them. You believe wholeheartedly that they understand how much they mean to you, for you to have let them in like that.

Then you realize at some point that it was never that deep. They never noticed what it meant to you. You never had a place in their ribcage and you suddenly look around a room and realize that they never saw you, but an amalgamation of noncommittal traits that they passively noticed over the years.

You are whatever was right in front of their eyes at the moment. Nothing too complex.

That would actual take effort and effort is reserved for things that matter.
