And it was a name given to a little girl that no one cared about. The irony is not lost on me. I&#8217;ve always been a bit separate. First in my family and then in my relationships. Maybe you have to understand the emotion to feel it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never understood how people will lie, cheat, steal, and murder for it. Why some people hand it over like pennies in their pockets. Or others hoard it like it&#8217;s their only valuable possession. I don&#8217;t do either. I&#8217;m convinced I don&#8217;t have any love to give. Someone is going to have to breathe life into my damaged soul before I can ever even consider loving them.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tax<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a shit storm just waiting to happen. Actually, scratch that, I usually don&#8217;t wait for anything or anybody.
