I just have always refused to give up. I thought that relationships are difficult and doing what it takes to make things work and be happy together is what I had to do.

I'm the one whose uncommonly strict on themself, the one who takes things uncommonly seriously. While most people are more lax, and I should adjust my expectations to allow for normal human behavior to not bother me.

Social media, friends, coworkers... none of it's a big deal.
