"We accept the love we think we deserve."
i love this quote. it was in this book i am reading called "The Perks of Being A Wallflower" i haven't read much but it's really good so far. kind or quirky and interestingly written. and i think the author is the same guy that wrote "Running With Scissors."
Anyways back to the quote... its so true. I have started liking people before that i thought subconciously that i didn't deserve. they were too nice, and too rich, and liked me way too much, and i felt as if i was almost taking advantage of them. spending all of their time consumed on making me happy. it scared me because i thought at some point or another they are going to see the "real me," although i was never fake, and not like me any more. and then i have been with people on the opposite end of that spectrum where they loved me too, but i felt that they weren't worth my time because it was destined to fail in the end. i felt they couldn't handle me. so i would slowly become evasive and slip away when they weren't looking. finding myself alone again. but now that i realize this thanks to this book, maybe i can accept the love people offer me.... we will see:)

i love that quote too, i'm going to have to write that down. running with scissors was hilarious, at least the movie was...remember his wife sitting on the couch eating dog food looking a hot mess ahaha too funny...crazy how we seem to be on the same page but our experiences with love were so different. i need to accept the love people offer me too instead of pushing it away or being weird about it, i shall work on that :)
