That said, it’s getting easier to look past all that and live without clinging to anyone. Why force it if it ain’t true, right? Just doesn’t make any sense to put oneself out there without being met halfway. Less grief and whatnot. The greatest freedom is to shrug off manipulation: make your own decisions, live your own life, and defend your right to do so with everything you have.
