~ If You're In My Life ~

“I don’t surround myself with people who are constantly positive, always smiling to mask the bullshit life they actually have. I prefer people who are real, honest and raw. I don’t want anyone who walks on eggshells around me. If your day sucks, I want to hear about why it sucks so I can help make it better. If you’re not really happy, don’t fake a smile on my behalf. I’d rather you spill your guts with tears every day, until your smile is real because I don’t care about the show, the disguise, the political correctness. If you’re in my life, I want you to be in your own skin.”

If I start "being myself" I'd be either thrown out of this country or jailed !
Considering my temperament.

@MissAnonymous Bless your heart. Too much built up hostility, I suppose? Usually it's caused by deep trauma, thus my empathy. It's not stated due to pity. Hopefully you can overcome it one day.♥️

Regardless, I accept people as they are, and try to support them the best I can. We all have some sort of toxic trait.
