Flaws & All, Part 2

Some of my ignorance, I think, is something all people share. Everyone needs and wants someone in their corner. So the people one has decided are reliable and in their corner are scrutinized in a different way. A person wants to believe the best about their family and friends, sometimes even in the face of abject contradiction.

So I believed the best although I knew the worst. Don't they say you may know better but not do better?

The tragedy really lies in denial. When everyone said it wasn't any good for me, and it was proven right, I hung on, not because I needed to, but because I wanted to. I felt like I'd had enough heart break for a lifetime so I didn't want to walk away even when SO many said I should.
