No More Mr. Nice Guy
No more Mr. Nice Guy. Or so I tell myself. Again. I can almost hear the laughter of my own conscience, because we've played this game before. Draw the line. Build the walls. Stop caring so damn much. Yet every time someone needs a shoulder, there I am. Every time someone needs an ear, I... -

When I saw @Brownieeee thread about red flags I got a little inspired to write a poem about my red flag/green flag experiences... this is how it goes... My red flag is I fall too deep, Wear my heart out on my sleeve, Speak aloud my quiet dreams, Hold the door, say what I mean. Your green flag... -
•‿• A Red Flag About Me •‿•
My red flag is that I care too deeply and refuse to see the bad in people until it's way to late and they've hurt me. My red flag is that when I fall for someone I fall for them hard, and forget who I really am in the process My red flag is that I observe a lot to make sure I understand what's... -
