remember: you can’t force anything on anyone. you can’t force commitment, loyalty, honesty, consistency. you can’t force them to keep their word, or to communicate, or to see the great thing right in front of them. you can’t force people to be or do things they aren’t ready to do themselves.
"I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others’ pain, and my passion for it all.”
