Good food, great toys for the unattended P.T.A meetings. Ice-creams to replace my forgotten birthdays. Chocolates, flowers or gifts to show love. So love was gifts and materials for me. Angry, sad anything could be replaced by materials is what I had learned since childhood.
So when I was in love. I started showing love, the only way I knew: by getting things. Big or small. But he refused. I thought he did not loved me back and that's why... But then the way he treated me, looked at me was still with love.
After a lot of thinking, I realized that even after having almost everything, I was unhappy. The materials that were given to me was a composition for the love, that was never given to me. The uneasiness and suffocation I felt in most of my relationships were because of me trying to make them accept me, by pleasing them.
His resfusal actually felt like an acceptance. Because he did not want anything but me.
Maybe I am reading too much from this. Maybe I am writing this without logic. But I still am writing, because for the first time in years I feel happy. I feel accepted.
I feel Loved.
