I see the world in black and white. People you can count on, people you can’t. I have a very difficult time seeing and appreciating the grays. I see a liar as a liar, a traitor as a traitor, and there’s just no in-betweens for me. I can still be civil, even maintain a casual friendship, but once someone has let me down, it’s never the same. I put them on a mental black list and write them off forever. Then we drift apart and that’s ok for me. I’ve let many friendships die. Just walked away and never looked back because I know that when hell breaks loose, that person is not someone I want watching my back. And hell likes to break loose a lot in my life. I can’t stop with the siege mentality. I know that I do not need people to be true or reliable or trustworthy or loyal in every situation, and yet, I can not turn that survival instinct off. Unfortunately, it’s very short list of people I truly know I can count on. I have friends that do not know that I am aware of what I would term as a massive betrayal of our friendship. I go on casually but know that I will never, ever be able to trust them again. I spent the early part of life learning hard lessons and learning to read people quickly. I rely on perceptiveness and gut instinct more than anything people say or do. Tell me you did the right thing when it counted, but if I happen to know differently, I will never trust you again.

A love that is denied only goes stronger.

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not the reason behind that happiness.

It’s hard to find someone whom you truly love, much less to find someone who loves you as much. When the chance comes, don't ever let go.

People like me love compliments and tend to gravitate towards unrestricted, lively people. They are outgoing and active. If you plan a date with people like me, be prepared to stay out late and have some fun, as they are filled with energy, and love excitement. Generally, people like me like to think of themselves as intellectuals, therefore, the best way to excite me is to approach me on a intellectual level. I am aggressive and passionate. However, be forewarned that I have a tendency to be jealous and when in love, wants quite a bit of your time, if not all of it. I love to be asked for advice and will give you as much time, guidance, and sympathy that you need. My advice is usually given straight forth and without hesitation An absolute definite way to end a relationship with me is to start dictating or even more so, dominating them. i hate it. In addition, never give me orders. Not only do they not take orders well, but most likely they won't even listen. Known to be independent, I will be a trustworthy, loyal and an exciting partner
