Daniel told me recently that a guy can make any girl like or fall in love with him, given enough time, just by telling the girl how much she means to him. That's why that he made it a point to never say anything like that to a girl unless it was true. That's also why no matter how true it might be, I never know if I should believe it. And yet, I always fall for it. Lesson learned from this? Don't let someone care about you until you care about yourself. I cannot safely be involved with someone until I can take care of myself, love myself, and not need anyone to care about me. Love and care from someone should be a bonus to the love and care you have for yourself; the love and care from someone else for you should not be what sustains you. This sounds slightly corny, I know, but it applies. Have I reached that? Hell no. That's why I'm so fragile. Will I ever? Eh, who knows. Maybe I'll grow old with a bunch of cats. But, I hate cats. So maybe stuffed animals instead.
