You are Always You

From the book, "The Last Boyfriend:  Book Two of the Inn Boonsboro Trilogy" by Nora Roberts

"I'm still not done.  Whether you're happy or sad or mad or glad, you're still you.  If you figure I'm only around--or you decide you only want me around--when everything's solid, you're wrong, and you're stupid.  It's not going to work that way for me.  It's never been surface with us, and whatever else has changed, that can't.  That's the bottom line."

I have some kind of issue that I have to be up or happy or feeling no pain to be out and about and with people.  I want to be my happy; sad, mad; pained or glad self out in the world.....

Because the bottom line - whatever I'm feeling and however I'm being.... I'm still ME.

May you know that whatever you are feeling and however you are being.... YOU are still You and people that love you and are best in your life -  WANT YOU there with them.   This is the bottom line.
