“You know what your problem is? You get attached, fast. And once you're attached to someone you everything you can to please them and make them happy. It's never been about what you want, it's always been everyone else's needs before your own. You give out too many chances to people, who quite frankly don't deserve the. They take advantage of you, and you become a pushover. But you're okay with that, because their in your life and that's all you've ever wanted. And even if they screw you over, you'll still be there for them. Because that's you, that's who you are. Once you get attached to someone, they capture your heart and they always have a place there. That's why it's so hard for you to let go.”
