What Matt said!

What’s funny is that that is exactly how I felt in the past: like I was a princess trapped in a castle with barbed wire and dragons and witches and moats to keep the visitors away. I so wished that someone would’ve seen what was really happening when I was being difficult. I really don’t mean to make excuses, and I do think that everyone is responsible for their own behaviour, but when you’re constantly ready for battle, it would be so helpful to hear that you are truly loved, regardless of all the defences.
