Anyway, I'm responding to your comment here, because it bothers me to comment on my own blog in the first place, and for other reasons, it's more appropriate if I leave it here (especially since I want you to read it).<br />I just want to say first off that I've been fighting hard to not let your compliments flatter me, because two years ago my mentor made the same mistake of saying the same things. I don't think you'll ever have to know me the way he did (obviously since he and i were in a relationship) so you won't have to see my faults to a repulsive extent. Either way, it gives me hope that more than one person thought the same of me at different points in my life, and I hope to let it become the impetus for a change rather than to entrench myself further in narcissism. I think my tragic flaw has always been trying to live up to others' expectations, but the fact that they expect them in the first place gives me "a warm feeling inside." All in all, I'm thankful you think the way you do, but don't voice it too much!<br /><br />Also, you're the first person to say I should send that letter (I showed it to friends as well). And your reasoning is so far what convinced me the most. He's a circumspect person so I'm sure he sensed my feelings all along, but I think nothing hits home than an honest exchange like that letter.<br /><br />What hurts me the most is that he was my one defense mechanism. If i had a problem coping, I went to him. Now, he basically (for my own good) left me to myself, and I'm hurt because I feel vulnerable. It's nice to have someone understand me like you do, and not talk down to me (I'm grateful for your decision not to preach and to actually empathize). Your advice is heart felt and truly constructive (compared to the Dr. Phil bs everyone is throwing at me). I'm glad I have a friend in youLeilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490635107983302531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730345470650778399.post-105715667047721672011-04-08T20:30:31.951-07:002011-04-08T20:30:31.951-07:00You're life is too interesting; go on.You're life is too interesting; go on.Something Concupisciblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465861495550557597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730345470650778399.post-36550507268207862352011-04-08T19:16:43.562-07:002011-04-08T19:16:43.562-07:00Mous eend skvuhrl!!Mous eend skvuhrl!!edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257653333271259761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730345470650778399.post-49629258650991280662011-04-08T17:56:19.867-07:002011-04-08T17:56:19.867-07:00`I love reading this story, but I have to wonder h...`I love reading this story, but I have to wonder how much longer it will last.
