   Summary

   you've been a burden your entire life. your parents said so. many, many times.

   it's been a stone in your heart since you were little. you're too much. people always walk away once they get to know the real you. how clingy you are, how needy...

   you're trying to make up for it now by serving your community and holding tightly to the friends you have now with a death grip that you can only describe to your therapist without sounding crazy.

   it was going great until... until him.
