Whenever I find myself caring about someone, I feel the need to tell them my flaws. The more I value them, the more things I tell them.

I go into personality quirks, past mistakes, my big bag of issues. Usually they receive this information either in a big list, or I sit them down and just spew words.

The reason behind this is because I believe in letting people know what they are getting into. Good surprises and mysteries are fun, but the bad ones can really suck.

There are some things we know we can, and can't deal with. I just want them to know what may exist. I fear being accused of trying to hide things. I fear being walked away from by those I love and trust. I also respect someone enough to inform them of the whole truth. This method has it's setbacks, but I feel if someone is going to walk away from me because of one of my flaws.. I'd rather have it be before I really fall for them. It prevents being hurt, just a tad.. on both sides].

Those who seem to think I am exaggerating, or that it doesn't matter I tend to walk away from. It shows they don't trust my perspective, or what I am saying.

Those who listen, and give me some feedback, and take what I say into consideration.. well those are the kind of people I try to surround myself with.

I think we might really have a future together. Now, let's have a little discussion:

will

Just so you know.

Oh, oh, look at my redeeming honesty	The more I adore you, the more I fear failure in your eyes	I wouldn't date me	There are other things I haven't told you yet
Hello, I take Zoloft. I am so gloriously mentally ill! You will love me, yes?	Monotonously incessant self debasement is spiritually malignant	Why are you sad?	Someone takes care of me and I squirm like I'm caught in a lie
Depression is a good thing	My recent perfect date has given me hope	Sometimes I do things just to feel alive	Why can't men buy tampons?
Don't kill yourself until you've completed the checklist	Don't misunderstand this one, it was like palm against palm through a window	Sounds cool and means nothing	Why I am neurotic about love
The Story That Is Still Being Written	Belief is a sign of mental illness	There is no good depression. It's not sexy. It's not fun. It's not the new rock and roll.	nobody's perfect
Trying to stomp the life out of false hope	Blowing smoke rings	Honesty is the best policy.	pitch drop experiment
