Everything I am is determined more by the actions of the people judging me than the actions I take. I'm good or bad depending on their experiences with certain actions. I'm real or fake, kind or cruel, and most of those opinions have absolutely nothing to do with what I actually am.
What bothers me most is that, somehow, I'm always made out to be this bitchy, controlling monster with bad motives. I was told once that my motives for dating Fern in the first place were bad. The only thing I can remember specifically is the term "damsel in distress". That was the part I was apparently playing.
For a while, I wasn't even sure if it was the truth or not. Maybe this person was right. Maybe it was all theatrics.
And then, a couple days ago, I stumbled upon a journal entry I wrote about a week after he and I started dating, talking about how much I liked him, how happy he made me, and how I was questioning his motives, even though he was being so good to me.
In short, never let anyone else tell you how you feel or how you felt. The hell they know more about you than you do, even if you were once close friends.
Tomorrow is my ten month with Fern. [Ten months this time around, anyway.]
I'm glad I have him, and I'm glad I'm not letting anyone else tell me how to feel anymore.
I'm glad.

The secrecy thing is hard hard hard hard hard.
But.
I am so glad you finally decided to stop letting other people decide how you feel and how you felt.
You are a FABULOUS person, don't EVER forget it.
