I remember how I felt puzzled and angry the first few times you cried but you'd just brush it off as your way of dealing with things. I tried so hard to change it; to instill some form of self-confidence and esteem in you but I've never succeeded and I doubt I ever will. Self-esteem is something I once held so highly (and as a personal trait, I still hold it with utmost importance) but you came into my life to show me that all these are but a form of social construct and not everyone has to bend to it...
I never thought how someone like you can exist; and I'm not even saying this out of romantic context but my pure fascination with your bold and innocent worldview so clean and independent of social muddling. No one will probably ever realize this but I've told so many close to us: between the two of us, I'm the weaker one. In fact, I've never seen anyone stronger than you this crying baby...
This post is actually pretty pointless and really serves just as a reflection but if there's one thing I'm driving at, it's that you shouldn't let what other people are telling you change you (other than the fact that maybe you've got some technicality aspects wrong haha)

PS: the title has nothing much to do with the article, I just take it out of context cos I thought it speaks the truth. Still, the article has so much more thought-provoking ideas to offer: the titular phrase continues with "... but we do not want to be intimate with this admirable and desirable person;" and goes on to discuss the many contradictions found in present-day society. It's more than a self-help book they're trying to promote, it's a sociology textbook, if I may say from an amateur point of view.
P.P.S:
