"At the end of the day, day, you can't regret it if you were trying, if you were trying..."

What if I'm sick and tired of trying?

People ask for honesty, then use it against you. They tell you they want you to be comfortable around them, but then they put you in uncomfortable situations without so much as a thought towards how you feel. They give you their "two cents" after you've made your decision as if it's going to change your mind.

They don't know me very well.

Scare tactics, bullying and guilt trips do not work with me. If you want to know how little they work on me, try one. You'll probably never know what I really think of you, because all you will see is the highest level of politesse and good humour. But trust me, the second you use any of these things on me is the same second I write you off. Completely. And it really doesn't matter who you are. I was not raised on tricks and I will not allow you to manipulate me with them.

If I, in the heights of frustration and stress, being seconds away from breaking down, can still be polite to you and remove you from my ire, you can do the same. Your position or status in life does not excuse you from the fundamental manners that we all (should) have been taught at a very young age. If you suspect that I refuse to put up with anymore of your shit, you're probably spot on. And if you try to pull me back in by being nice to me for a week, go ahead and think you've fooled me. You heighten my suspicion and become transparent. And I will do what is best for me. I don't care how long or short the 'relationship' has been. I don't need a year, or 3 months, or even 1 to know that you are a fucking loser and not worth my time.

I'm going to go away. Far away. For a long time. To make some money, clear my head and get away from you losers.
