i'll be fine.

i need to be fine because of me, from within, and not on the basis of any factors outside of me, however close to me. that is a lesson i know but haven't been able to imbibe, or at least practice. and that is what causes me hurt and pain.. i am fiercely passionate about whatever i do that i choose to put my heart and soul into. and then i give, happily, freely, i start investing myself, i remove barriers if i choose to trust. and then i expect. yes, that right there is the most fundamental source of trouble. just because i am a certain way, and give a certain way, does not mean i will receive the same way too. right? i have to understand that people do the best they can in any situation, the best that their circumstances have moulded them into doing and the best that they are capable of. that's that. period.

thank you for being my sounding board, kayinaat, and for understanding me..
