LOVE me now or….

Do not, I repeat, do not tell me I am paranoid. You’re telling the truth, well I’d hope. You repeat what you have said but somehow, it is not comforting. I wonder if I like to be comforted with a lie. I’d hope you would cushion me with some story that you are a good person. They say never to ignore signs, but I am student passing with an F. Clearly the problem is not you, but it is me. It is with how I perceive myself to be. People treat you based on the reflection of how you treat yourself.

STOP!

I just want to be happy!

Help!

I am a vulnerable child!

Teach me how to love myself!
