“I have invested my heart. There is a chance that it will be broken but also a chance at unlimited happiness.”

“My biggest mistake: not wanting to help myself into thinking I am happy, that change would come about without really trying to change, or wanting to change. Procrastinating about changing. I do want to change.”

“I thought I was unhappy before… I was just a stupid young kid that didn’t know what happiness was. I was like a snot in a candy store who not only wanted all he could eat, but the whole thing. Life is stupid. Stupid. Or at least to this point, mine is.”

“You can’t do anything to please anybody or say anything to please them or even dress so they’ll be happy and give you a smile.”

“They have accepted me as an individual, as a personality, as an entity. I belong! I am important! I am somebody!”

“I hope they never have to go through the kind of soul searching that I am going through.”

“They don’t think “I care,” “I hurt,” or “I have feelings.” It just seems like I’m always “wrong,” always “selfish,” always “self-centered” and everything else that’s negative and destructive.”
