The Words That Stuck.

" There is no shangri-la. Every relationship is messed up; it's when it totally sucks and you still want to stick around, that you know it's perfect."

- Carla, Scrubs Season 2 Ep ?

I'm not sure exactly why, but while watching Scrubs with Mon just now, that line got me thinking.

I have my share of baggage. I am far from perfect. I feel too much in most instances; I can be awfully insecure; and I struggle to find happiness day-to-day. Some days just being alive and around people feels like such a challenge. Some days I just hate myself for being me.

I want someone who, despite knowing all this, won't run away. Who, upon hearing my innermost fears and insecurities and hurts, can still hold my gaze and tell me he wants me just the same.

To be accepted and loved. All I ask.
