"I'm hard to love, but I'm worth it,"--UM, NO.

[evile]

I don't believe in being difficult to love. I don't believe in spending time with people who are difficult to love. If I want your company, I won't be an asshole to you. If you want my company, don't be an asshole to me. Seems pretty simple, doesn't it? And yet there are so many 'love stories' in fiction and literature, movies and music, where the person is a complete asshole who is somehow redeemed by being loved enough by the right person. That's not real life. That's not how sane & good people treat one another. Only evil, crazy people set up barriers and tests for people who love them. I'm not gonna prove my love to anyone, and anyone worth loving isn't going to demand it of me.

I think you're feisty. But not difficult to love. Feisty is a good thing.

First, I completely agree with Jenmarie.

Second, the thing about fiction is that it's.....fiction. If people wrote movies and books and stuff about real life, it would be really boring 99% of the time.
