Rules and Regulations

Do not call me weak.

For you know nothing of my struggle, nor my strength.

Do not judge my decisions,

For I have not judged yours.

Do not pretend to love me,

if it is conditional upon my pleasing you.

Do not shame, guilt, or otherwise abandon me,

as I would never abandon you.

If you cannot accept me for my mistakes,

then at very least do not demean me for my accomplishments.
