I think if someone doesn’t accept you for who you are, and if they don’t love you and want to be around you while you are just being yourself, that there is no way you will ever coexist permanently. So, I’ve come to accept that in my life more and more. I’m just not going to be good enough for some people. Ever.
I long for that kind of acceptance in my life. I don’t think I’ve had it outside of my immediate family and a small handful of very, very close friends, and even that hasn’t been consistent.
I wish my brain worked differently, where I could just be one of those people that didn’t care, but I do, and that’s who I am.
