“You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words that matter.” Nicholas Sparks. This is how I feel. How I feel about you, how I feel about me, but most importantly how I feel about us. From the start, this has confused me, consumed me and condemned me because this has never happened to me before. But I can’t help it. It’s not my fault. I’m not used to this. I don’t think I ever will be.
