So true, I don't know if I could do it. I hate living with regrets so I am not sure what I would do. Here is a saying that I keep at my desk;
I have to live with myself an so,
I want to be fit for myself to know.
I want to be able as days go by
Always to look myself straight in the eye.
I don't want to stand with the setting sun,
And hate myself for the things I've done.
I don't want to keep on a closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself.
And fool myself as I come and go,
Into thinking that nobody else will know.
I can never hide from me,
I see what other may never see.
I know what others may never know,
I never can fool myself and so;
Whatever happens, I want to be,
Self Respecting and conscience free.
I didn't write it but I sure like it.
I haven't been talking to my Step Dad and I am not sure if it's the right thing to do. But sometimes just to be accepted it's easier to just stay away.
