one's sense of inherent worth.

And the person who was just a friend is...
suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.

I have my fingers, my toes,
some people in my life,

perhaps a cherished memory,
but only a dream - nothing more.
I will make all decisions and actions based solely
on what I have today as a starting point."

and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
