And I cannot be other than who I am. I will not be…
““And I cannot be other than who I am. I will not be anything other than who I am. If my presence undoes all your healing then I will go. But if I stay do not try to make me responsible for your problems, do not try to make me behave in ways that suit you better, and do not use me as your easy target again. I. Will. Not. Take. It.””
