I know why Hamilton was non-stop
No more silence. Speak the truth with me. Act like you're running out of time and do something. Whatever it is you can summon the courage to do. And like Hamilton said, I'll see you on the other side.
Making myself a priority
I realized I needed to approach relationships the same way I had approached tennis. I would make myself a priority. And in doing so, whatever other people chose had little to do with me. Because I had confidence that I could give myself what I needed. After all, hadn't I done it for all those other people? I am the most reliable person I know.
Anger, part 2
But trying not to get angry doesn't work. You may say you don't feel it, but it's coming out, anyway, in ways that you don't even know about. That’s the kind of denial in passivity. Your anger is hidden from you, but you feel very hurt and undeserving.
