There’s a difference between being important and being loved
Being important means that I offer something to the world
It’s that I have a skill you don’t
I do things you can’t do for yourself and you appreciate that
But being loved is much more of a feeling
It’s not solid or black and white it just is
It’s that I could totally screw things up and you would still pick me
Without being important and special, I feel like I could disappear and it would be okay
But without being loved, I feel hollow
So I understand that there is a key difference in the two,
But please don’t make me choose.
Loyalty isn’t grey. It’s black and white. You’re either loyal completely, or not loyal at all. And people have to understand this. You can’t be loyal only when it serves you.
