surely be rejected, as the result of letting anyone get to see me as i really am. more than once that particular scenario played out: let someone on, show them my **dark** side, and BOOM they were gone. my experience taught me to be whatever i needed to be, rather than risk the pain of rejection and i bought that **story** hook, line and sinker. when i got clean, and was told over and over and over again, that i could be who i really was, the story i had told myself for so long, was so deeply ingrained upon my psyche, it would take year to allow it to loosen its grip. even now, i her that refrain from time to time and wonder “what if…”
