We’re all broken, mate. I’m really not trying to fix her, nor do I expect her to become anyone but who she is. I try to love people where they are right now. If we loved people for who they “could” be, they’d constantly disappoint and frustrate us.
Anyway, thank you for your kind words about me, but I’m just a man. I make good and bad choices like everyone else. And like a lot of people, I never give myself enough credit for my good choices and I beat myself up unmercifully for my bad choices. I wish I was better about that, but all I can do is try.
