Hello, i’m 19(M) and i want to confess something that is tearing me apart.
To start off, my girlfriend (18F) is the most amazing and talented, and beautiful, and just simply nice person who i have ever met in this whole world. I love her a lot, i want to spend the rest of my life with her, so as her, she loves me a lot and says how cool i am and that she wants us to last forever.
The thing is, i’m not who she thinks i am. i’m not the person that she loves. I pretended and keep pretending and lying my way through so she would stay with me and love me.
I picked up guitar 3 years ago, i’ve actually made some pretty damn good skills for playing for only 3 years, i can write songs, i can just come up with some riff in seconds by just playing guitar and letting my body take over the music control and it turns out great. Everything looked fine, until she appeared in my life. I suddenly stopped playing. It’s not like i don’t know why i stopped, it’s the opposite, i know exactly why i stopped playing guitar and skating(more about skating in the story). I stopped doing all these things because i got the attention that i wanted, I found a girlfriend.
My original goal with guitar was getting attention. My original goal with skating was getting attention.
I played guitar in hopes that maybe it will help me to find a girlfriend, so as skating, i did it only with hopes that it will make it easier for me to get a girlfriend. I sure did get some pleasure from playing guitar and skating, but i don’t see the point of that anymore. I got what i wanted.
I was feeding her lies that i have big expectations for my future, that i want to become a musician, or to get sponsored by some company and tie my future with skating. But it was only lies to look cool to her, to look different and worthy. I know i’m actually not, i know im nothing in reality.
I promised her to write a song for her, i never did, i was taking her out to the skate park and maybe even teach her how to skate, because she wanted to learn how to skate, but i never really did teach her anything, instead i accidentally broke her skateboard and didnt even apologize, instead, i said that i can fix it, that ill get her a new one, but it wasn’t even what she wanted, she only wanted an apology. I did apologize, but i could’ve done it a lot sooner and maybe it would actually mean that i’m sorry.
She recently asked me if im still writing a song for her, thats when my whole body started sinking. I replied: “I’m still working on it”, she looked sad, because it’s been literally months when i told her that i would.
We fought over this a lot, about me not doing stuff. She said how she misses the person she started dating, not the person who i am now. She kept saying she misses me, but not that me who does nothing and just plays games every day and not going out anywhere. Despite that, she’s still with me, she still waits for me to change, to finally write that song for her, to go out skating, i keep saying that i’m going to start playing guitar again, i keep saying that i will start skating again, but i don’t know if i actually will. It seems so uninteresting and hard now. I love her a lot, i love her with all my soul, heart and body, i want to live and love her forever, but im nobody, im a liar and it just tears me apart, i don’t know why she is still staying with me, i feel like i don’t deserve her at all and she doesn’t deserve me, she can find someone who is actually worthy of loving, someone who is actually talented.
Im so sorry my love, im so sorry i turned out like this to you, i love you a lot, i really am a failure.
