Truth is I'll never get close to someone who can't appreciate a good sad story and that's okay.

I don't feel bad for myself, I understand some of the things I've been through make people uncomfortable. And there's always going to be times of sadness for me, and people will take it personally when I isolate for a while.

I like me and I know how strong I am. It's not that I don't need anyone, I would love a friend or a partner, I crave community. But I don't feel less without it. I'm happy for people who don't understand and I'm there to emphasize when they do.
