Listen, I know that your self-esteem is completely shot and has never really existed. And I understand that you have an overwhelming urge to push anyone who gets too close away from you because you don't feel you're worthy of anybody's love and fear they'll abandon you anyway. But you have got to get over it. You need to risk being hurt and cut completely open if you ever want to find true happiness. You are so much stronger than you give yourself credit for, and you ARE a good person. You will find someone who loves you, scars and all.—Inner Voice of Hope
