Just that sometimes we let ...

Just that sometimes we let other people treat us wrongly because we want to be loved and accepted so badly that we\'d do anything for it. It hurts when you know that no matter how much you try, how much you want it, they can\'t love or accept you as you are. Then you hate all that time you wasted trying to please them and wonder what about you is so awful that they couldn\'t at least pretend to love you.\

Quotes from the same author

I miss the good old days when Daimons were warriors and combat trained. The ones I found tonight knew nothing about fighting, and I’m sick of the whole ‘my gun will solve all’ mentality. (Wulf)

Atlantis: Fabled. Mystical. Golden. Mysterious. Glorious and magical. There are those who claim that it never was. But then there are also those who think they are safe in this modern world of technology and weapons. Safe from all the ancient evils. They even believe that wizards, warriors, and dragons are long dead. They are fools clinging to their science and logic while thinking it will save them. (Thrylos)
