If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am.
And I don’t want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it, too.
I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me. And if they do something I don’t like, I’ll tell them.”
She was starting to cry a little. But she wasn’t sad. “You know I blamed Craig for not letting me do things?
You know how stupid I feel about that now? Maybe he didn’t really encourage me to do things, but he didn’t prevent me from doing them either.
But after a while, I didn’t do things because I didn’t want him to think differently about me.
But the thing is, I wasn’t being honest. So, why would I care whether or not he loved me when he didn’t really even know me?”
I looked up at her. She had stopped crying. “So, tomorrow, I’m leaving. And I’m not going to let that happen again with anyone else.
I’m going to do what I want to do. I’m going to be who I really am. And I’m going to figure out what that is.
But right now I’m here with you. And I want to know where you are, what you need, and what you want to do.”
She waited patiently for my answer. But after everything she said, I figured that I should just do what I wanted to do.
Not think about it. Not say it out loud. And if she didn’t like it, then she could just say so.
