My skill didn't lie in planning battles, only in fighting them.
More than most, I know the pain of surviving.
For I need this scar over my heart to remind me. Crazy as it sounds, if I can bear the wound on my body, it lessens what I must carry on my soul. How he knew that about me, I cannot fathom.
Most people werenโt aware enough to fear the things that could really hurt them.
Caring too much could be dangerous; I saw that now. But the alternative was no better.
Now I know there are ways to belong to someone that donโt take anything away. A relationship shouldnโt impose limitsโand if it does, then itโs wrong. A lover should help you exceed your potential, not clip your wings.
