Afraid Dies Live
My biggest mistake: not wanting to help myself into thinking I am happy, that change would come about without really trying to change, or wanting to change. Procrastinating about changing. I do want to change.

Mistakes Thinking Trying

Better Fantasy Life Sometimes
Why is life so difficult? Why can’t we be just ourselves and have everyone accept us the way we are?

Accepting Difficult Way

They have accepted me as an individual, as a personality, as an entity. I belong! I am important! I am somebody!

Even my parents treat me like I’m stupid and inferior and ever short. I guess I’ll never measure up to anyone’s expectations. I surely don’t measure up to what I’d like to be.

Even Expectation Inferior Measure
