“At the end of the day, you have two choices in love – one is to accept someone just as they are and the other is to walk away. There is no in between. There is no bartering, bargaining, expecting and falling short in love. There is just choosing to be there or to not. Anything in between is a tired, self-interested excuse for love.”
― Heidi Priebe, This Is Me Letting You Go

“I did crave attention, but I refused to humiliate myself by asking for it.”
