and you try to bring up things that have been bugging you and talk it out and better the relationship, and instead of discussing and constructing, they get defensive and then offensive where they try to tear you down by picking at your most obvious insecurities and faults.

and at the same time its a good thing. because if this was a year or two ago i would be sobbing by now. but i am finally secure enough in myself, and believe in myself enough that i know that i can fix those things about me and that i have been making large steps toward that. and that i'm not a lost cause. and that i am strong.

hearing about my flaws are never easy. but they are not earth shattering. or tear worthy.

and i am glad that i am getting myself to a place where i am comfortable with myself.

and as glad as i am its not breaking me down, it still upsets me that you even tried.
