Okay, I need to start seeing ppl for what they show me, and stop looking for the potential and making assumptions of "what if"

Again and again. "When someone tells you who they are, believe them." is one of those quotes we all know and it's really fucking true because if you like part of someone, but don't like another part, you get both of them.

And you need to remember tomorrow and the next day and the next that this is your plan.

Don’t fall in love with the idea of someone!

Idk. At first glance I look like an awkward idiot who is never quite sure of himself. When you peel back the layers, you find that I'm very intelligent and have a heart of gold. First impressions aren't really my thing, but I do make lasting impressions.

Yes, ah, I need to do this too. I always want to give people excuses for some reason.
