Of course not, Marth. I will be the first to openly admit something that I have never wanted anyone to see or to know. It's something my brother knows about me all too well. I was at one point in time incapable of turning other people down. I have always been one to give up my happiness for the benefit of others, because I pretended that I was happy when others are. I want to be happy. I want to find my own happiness. I found the person who makes me happy. That person is you. I can be myself with you. I don't have to pretend. I don't have to have a silver tongue with you. I don't have to do great things. I don't have to act at a standard with you. I am no one but me when I am with you. That's the only person I want to be. I am who I want to be. I won't change who I am for anyone. Not even you. I want you to like me, to love me, whatever for who I am, not for who you want me to be.

I want to be happy. I want to find my own happiness. I found the person who makes me happy. That person is you. I can be myself with you. I don't have to pretend. I don't have to have a silver tongue with you. I don't have to do great things. I don't have to act at a standard with you.
I am no one but me when I am with you. That's the only person I want to be.
I am who I want to be. I won't change who I am for anyone. Not even you. I want you to like me, to love me, whatever for who I am, not for who you want me to be.
If you do, great.
If not, then it's your loss.
