YOU.

This is the most important message I can think to leave with you, Troubled Child.
You are the most interesting person you will ever meet, and the only person you will ever have such an intimate chance to get to know.
So cherish it.

Never accept anything as a rational explanation, because rationale is what you make it. Its just a silly rule, its a reason someone else gave you or you gave yourself to make things easier. Always wonder. Wonder why you act the way you do, why you choose the things you do, why you say what you do, wonder how your own mind works, why it pulls forth anger and sadness and happiness when it does.

If you are wondering why others like or don't like you, stop focusing on what they are doing and focus on what you are doing, how you are reacting to your environment. Maybe then you will find out that you are in fact so fascinating that you will forget about the rest.

It is peculiar. I believe most of the time that you can only truly love and care for another person when you have a firm grasp on yourself and your ways and thoughts.

So really, maybe you can be happy.
Maybe you can feel the love that you have.

But only when you treat yourself as the amazing creature you really are.

You were right when you told me that it is all about respect today.
It's a shame you can say words that you really don't seem to understand yet though.
It's a shame that any of us can,
I have been saying words for years and I am only now realizing how many of them I never really heard or bothered to really think about.

The only real folk in this world are the ones who embrace their actions and reactions for what they are without rationalizing them.


...Now do as I say, not as I do.
