a grand gesture

The goal is emotional independence.

I’m not perfect for anyone.

--- that’s really not meant in a self-deprecating way.

It’s just that I hope I’m not, because he’ll be expecting things like emotional dependence, and I’d rather not have that sort of expectation placed upon me.

You blocked me. I shouldn’t care, because I was the antagonist, but even antagonists have feelings. In most ways, antagonists have it the hardest. Even if they cause the trouble, in the end they always lose the things they care about, and they’re only ever remembered as horrible characters.

“She was fiercely independent...”

(you thought it was original, but it wasn’t)

“she’s a lady, she’s a lady...” please don’t call me a lady.

Please stop making promises you can’t keep. (less than twenty cold ones)

I miss knowing what they mean.

(I just don't understand the new rules)
