I am very bad at it..... my parents never complimented me, as I remember. I used to cry in kindergarten when the teacher used to play "The Ugly Duckling" but I was too ashamed of my tears to cry openly........ and I wasn't even ugly
I have been burned by ppl who I cared about and who were warm and called me sweetie but then? I realised they didn't care at all. And I blamed myself

(and so did they. sigh. nope it isn't ALL my fault

)
why oh why am I writing all this today
