When you stop to think about it, feelings are messy. Twitterpated contest entry.
Breaking up is never the easy thing to do. But sometimes, staying together seems to be the harder thing. Impossible, perhaps. Every relationship has its ups and downs, I suppose, but being inexperienced in them—inexperienced in life—doesn’t help when the downs come around.

Sometimes I wonder about what went wrong. What I did wrong. Could I have changed it? Could I have held on to those first-date feelings, or first-kiss feelings, or first-anything feelings? Could I have kept a better mindset—one that kept both of us in mind, rather than just me?

Maybe I’m incapable of thinking of anyone more than just me. Human nature, after all, isn’t it? Self-preservation before everything?

I can’t help but feel disappointed with it all—with him, with myself, with this stupid failure.

But of course, there’s only me to blame.
