In shielding my pain, all I cared about back then was myself . Why care if you have hurt someone through your words . You can't take responsibility from hurting someone for speaking the truth now can you?
And yet today I worry if my words have the slightest impact on people who just wish to distant themselves from me . Oh bother why do I care .
Life is simpler as a selfish jerk. At least you guarantee that one person is happy .
