There are times when I have to stand up for myself.

I may take a while to get over being cheated on but at least I struggle and fight each and every single day.

I can’t keep lying about my true feelings to spare the sensibilities of other people.

It is not a flaw to love completely, honestly, truly. If people are scared of intense feelings, then they can get the fuck away from me.

I don’t do pretentious and dispassionate. If I like you, I will show you every chance I get. If I’m not too fond of you, I will keep my distance; I sometimes won’t even bother making conversation with you.

I don’t do shallow relationships. I may only have a few good friends but our friendships survive time and distance. I’d rather have one good friend than a million who don’t really give a fuck about me.

I believe in being open, mindful, and honest in my daily life. If authenticity is not your thing, then maybe I’m not your thing.

I may have my prejudices but I am highly tolerant.

When I say I love you, I mean it with all my being. I don’t do the regular relationship dynamics where I have to make pakipot for someone to realize they really love me. If you can’t realize that on your own, then fuck you.

I don’t keep tabs on the things I do. I don’t give time begrudgingly. I don’t think the people I love are a waste of time.

I believe in giving back to those who deserve it.

I believe that true love can be felt even when you are fighting or arguing.

If someone can’t accept all these things about me, then they can just fuck off and leave me be. Because I need to stand up for myself once and for all. And it’s sad because the one person I have loved over the past three years can’t handle all these things about me. That I know now…. And while it breaks my heart, I have to slowly accept how he feels. Whatever becomes of our relationship, only time will tell. All I can do now is love myself and wait.
