Being liked for what you are is something that I had hardly experienced.
Being liked for what you are not, is my thing ... not mine, but the "other"s' thing for me.
Being liked because you are not girlish enough ... should man be happy of getting this confirmation/love from the "other"s? It is alas my destiny to feel ached while feel being liked.
Being liked is not my thing.
Being not-enough is mine ... being OK with being no-some-shit-enough is my thing...
