Do not engage people you know do not care about you.

When a parent believes in taking something for nothing, but does not believe in giving something for nothing they do near irreparable damage to their child's soul.

What you choose to put in your mouth is an expression of love.

I never should have given up what I gave up for you because what I lost was myself.

What it really comes down to is validation...

If you do not respect your own wishes, no one else will. You will simply attract people who disrespect you as much as you do.
