Today's thoughts: What you do doesn't make you, you!

Saying "nothing personal" just ensures that I will take it personal. It's like going hunting and saying "I'm not hunting you." to the deer while having the bullseye target on its back but not shooting.

Saying "I'm sorry." doesn't really count when the only reason you say it is because it makes you a better person.

And saying "I'm not all that" doesn't mean anything when the reason you say that is because you think you are all that. If you didn't you wouldn't have to keep telling yourself that you're not; you would just know.

I'm not disappointed in you; I'm disappointed in what you've done. You are not the same person you were, and the old you would not have done what the new you just did. Just as I love you, but hate what you've done; so I'm saddened for you but not what life has handed you. Because perhaps without you going through what you are now you will not learn what you will and you will still be the you that I love but am disappointed in your actions. At least for now though it pains me to see you struggling I have the hope that with these troubles something good will come. A change, a change of you so that what I know you to be will be what every one else sees as well.
