I get it, really, I do. I am much more confrontational now. I have a righteous type of anger. I am a totally different person than I was 15 months ago. People need to accept me "as is" or stay out of my life. And nobody has a chance of running over me because I stand up for myself because I am my own best friend. No one else is going to take care of what life throws at me so I've learned to do it and do it forcefully. I would rather be alone than be around people who want the old me and won't accept who I really am now.
