kskittenUsually I would put this in the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
bufficquotes but this just struck home with me. It's from Take A Chance by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
musing_mia. It's Dawn talking.
“I’ve let you dictate this relationship from the beginning. I thought I was in control, but I’ve never been. And it has nothing whatsoever to do with my maturity. It has to do with yours. You’re the one not ready to be in a real relationship. You’re the one who can’t handle any relationship that doesn’t have sex involved. That’s your deal, not mine.” She took a deep breath before continuing.
“So this is what is going to happen. I’m going to find the real thing. I’m going to find a man who’ll love me like Spike loves Buffy, like Lindsey loves Cordy, like my father loves my mother. Along the way, I may have a less than perfect relationship, but at least I won’t be the Riley of the relationship. And let me explain, if you don’t get that reference. Riley knew Buffy didn’t love him. Not in the way, he loved her. He accepted crumbs from her, and called it love. That won’t be me. Again.”
She stood up, all legs and fiery disposition. “I was the Riley in our relationship. Giving more than you were willing to give, and I’m done. I’m going to school, and I’m gonna have a great time, and I’m gonna find love.”
Why I quoted this:
Because in that less-than-relationship-relationship that I had with Sandra, I have been the Riley. Stupid me. I should make Dawn's words my mantra for life. (That sound weird. Cause "Get Out! Get Out! Get Out!" doesn't make much of a mantra. This could...)
I'm gonna find the real thing. I am gonna have a great time, and I'm gonna find love. I'm gonna find the real thing. I am gonna have a reat time, and I'm gonna find love. I'm gonna find the real thing. I am gonna have a great time, and I'm gonna find love. I'm gonna find the real thing. I am gonna have a great time, and I'm gonna find love.
