We are people just like everyone else... So why are we the ones who are called names like manipulative, emotional blackhole, destructive, etc.... Please know that it isn't a choice we make... Whatever we do, we do for self preservation and to get away from the constant pain and struggle going on inside.... We may make wrong choices, go about it the wrong way but we get there... We live. We love. That's more than can be said about normal people... Show me one person who can constantly live with their demons and yet function... We are strong my fellow brothers and sisters and let no one tell you or worse convince you any different.... You are worth living and loving... No one can love as deeply as we... Our emotions ARE a two-edged sword.... But there is a fine balance and we can balance it... We do it everyday when we decide to get up from our beds and go about our tasks despite the debilitating pain and emotions... So I say hurray to us... We are special... We are worth everything that life has to offer... We are!!!
