Everyone loves to be loved. And they should. It's the ultimate, never-ceasing pat on the back, but instead of getting accolades for what you did, you get them for who you are. Often I have wondered whether or not one is loved for who they are or what they are. The what they are has always been pretty straightforward to me. You can be a ( Read more... )

It took me a while to realize it, but I'm so much better than the situation, and I'm so much better than your lies.  I am better than constantly reflecting myself in your glossy veneer, and I am better than the ways in which you tried to change me and the unfortunate concessions that I gave to you.  I could go on, but it all comes down to the same ( Read more... )
