"[...] What really kills me, though, is when they don't think that they *deserve* for things to be better. Whether they deserve the affection and support of their friends, whether they merit the desire that other people have to help them.
"You don't get to choose whether or not somebody loves you. You don't have a say in whether they desire for you to succeed. I mean, your actions, behaviors, everything about who you are will indeed play a huge role in how someone else feels about you, and what they want for you - but you do not get to change someone's mind by telling them, 'I'm not worth that. Save it for someone else that deserves it.' But some folks that I know try to do just that - they really feel that they do not deserve the feelings that others have for them."
