I have zero expectations from you. You don’t have to be my support system. You don’t have to love me. You don’t have to affirm my feelings. My self worth is not dependent on your opinion of me.

If you like me, love me, choose to be an affirming presence, or whatever, do it because you feel it genuinely not because you feel obliged to lift me up. I am not a boat and you are not the ocean. Plus, I prefer to fly.
