Self-Revelation.

*This time was different.*

I don't really know why, but it was. Oh yes, I saw the end coming. Saw it from the very start. I never let myself get too caught up in the moment, because I saw through to who you truly were. I think this time, it was I who changed.

Because with you, I put myself out there a little bit more. I made myself a bit more vulnerable. I gave you a little bit more of me, more than you knew you deserved.

And you accepted it. You accepted me. Well, at least for a little while.

I couldn't see it until now that every test that I put you through, I was also putting myself through. With every chance I made you take, I was also taking one myself. And now it all seems so obvious. All this time, I've been blaming everyone but me.

But in order for someone to accept me, I have to let them in a little. Do they have to work for it? Of course. Does that mean it will be easy? Of course not. Life is meant to be a challenge.

But the biggest challenge is for me to overcome the past and start new.
