Live with it

[0RH1]

I've always said be who you like, be whatever you want to be, it's your choice. But, I have a choice about my life, MY LIFE, no other f****rs and I am sick of people meddling in it (even if it is well meant sometimes).

I get told to sod off and stay out of other people's lives yet have to live with ungodly intrusion into mine and I don't want it.

I have a right to make choices concerning my life, and that includes choices about who I share my life with. When someone comes into my life I tell them all about me, I tell them i've been a waster junkie, because they have a right to know. If they decide they don't want to be with me that's my bad luck. I can't force them into a relationship with me just because I want it, they have the right to make that choice for themselves.

I don't lie to people, I don't deceive them, I don't torment them if they decide they would rather be with someone else. If I want to sit here and say I want to make my own choices then I have to let others do the same. If someone decides not to be with me because I'm an ex-junkie then I have to accept their decision. It may not necessarily mean they think all junkies should be strung up from the nearest tree. It may just mean they don't want that potential problem in their lives. It's their choice. If I want them to respect mine I have to respect their choice as well.
