"You seek a false comfort when you demand that I define myself for you with words. Words do not contain or define any person. A heart can, if it is willing."

The world demands I make good choices on no information, and then blames my maidenhood for my mistakes, as if my maidenhood were responsible for my ignorance. Ignorance is not stupidity, but it might as well be. And I do not like feeling stupid.
