we cannot...

I have said this once before and will revisit this topic a million times. I can't make people like or dislike me. I can only be open to receiving love...

...giving has never been an issue. I always give. It's hard for me not to (unless you cross me in the right way and even that takes a while). I'm also aware of the fact that, for most of what I distribute as love, most people have a different idea. I get that. You know, truth be known, I expect this. I've been like this all my life. Who I am, what I think, has made me an alien in every way for as long as I have been alive. I shouldn't be surprised by any of this...

...and I'm not.

I learned early in life that, even if I pretended, I would never be enough of what you want or I would always be more than you could handle and there would never be an in-between. That's not who I am. I am either your friend or I'm not. I'm either your lover or I'm not. I'm your employee or I'm not. I don't play this game with measuring things and trying to play both sides of the fence or walking down some middle line.

There's no passion there and only regret and I have chosen to live my life passionately and without regret. If anyone stands in the way of that, they will watch me pass on without them. It's simple. I do not misrepresent myself; what you see is what you get.

What about you? Where are you in this? What do you want?
