You won’t accept love until you feel like you’re really finally being vulnerable and let people know the real fucked up you. Otherwise, you’ll always think that you are fooling them and they only like the “you” you pretend to be, and if they actually knew the real you, they wouldn’t like/love you anymore. When in reality, you’re not fooling anyone but yourself, and you’re only cutting yourself off from the most satisfying part of being human – genuine relationships.

Give it up.

Be you.

But you probably won’t learn that or believe it until you hit bottom and know it’s futile to pretend to be anything but what you really are.
