The Book

Do you know what it’s like to live with someone who is self-centered—always wanting his picture taken, but unwilling to put in the effort to take yours? Everything you do is motivated by a desire to please him. Just when you think you’ve done something wonderful—that this time, you’ll finally get it… that moment of acceptance, where he approves of what you did simply because you did it to make him happy—you’re rejected again. You feel stuck. Truly stuck. Like nothing will ever change. God, will You ever hear my prayer? Sure, he has a beautiful smile. He’s funny. Everyone likes him. But what’s it going to take to get out of this despair? This sadness? I don’t know how much more my heart can take. I am so sad. I need so much more.
