Is the hostility really necessary?
I'm sick of having to explain myself to people. I've made mistakes, and I'm sorry for them. I'm not a perfect person. Far from it.
I'd like to see them emerge unscathed from the crucible that has been my life so far. Some scars run deeper than anyone realizes. I'm working with what I have.
I'm really fucking trying here, and it's an uphill battle. I'm sticking with it, but I just wish I could go one day without someone telling me what a piece of shit I am. If you don't approve of me, then don't be around me, but keep your opinions to yourself, please.
