This is me, idiot or genius.

You know, this is a lesson I should have learned years ago. Seems I haven't, and I'm ashamed of myself for taking this long.

Those who love me will love me no matter what I do. Those who want me as a friend will have me as a friend because of who they see me as, not because of what I have. Those who want me will tell me, one way or the other. Those who won't love me, I cannot convince. Those who cannot be friendly to me, I can do nothing about other than avoid or be courteous to. Those who do not want me, will never want me. Tastes change, but not that much. I cannot be anything other than what I am. I can change, but some things I choose not to change, things about myself I like.

There are those I want in my life as friends, family, and lovers. If it shall be, it shall be and that's that. If I cannot win a friend or lover, I am not going to bemoan that fact. Those who will be in my life will come in time.

There are people I know I love and people I wish I could express that love to, but I cannot for one reason or another. To them, I apologize for not knowing how to express it. But I doubt it would change their minds, even to share what I feel for them, to experience it themselves.

Love is. Waiting is. I am. And that's all.

love
