You can’t expect non-family to do family things. You can’t expect them to give you much. That’s why when you don’t have a family or you have a family that doesn’t serve its purposes, you will find yourself too exposed to everyone else who will take advantage of being exposed to you, because they are not family.
That is also why people who can find family outside the literal family are so lucky. It’s so rare. And it should be appreciated, not taken for granted.

All I am going to ask of you
I had the option of attempting to transform this into a “love story”. I could have only showed you my good and happy side, my attractive side. I could have distanced myself from you, I could have created drama. I could have played hard to get, I could have made myself not always available. I could have made you miss me. I could have manipulated you, I guess, whatever that means. It’s not that I didn’t want the attention, I did. It’s not that I wasn’t jealous, oh I was.

The Language of Luxury in Women’s Handbags
In fashion, handbags exist beyond function. They are cultural objects: carriers of identity, taste, and personal philosophy. Long before they hold essentials, they communicate restraint or boldness, heritage or modernity, intention or instinct. In luxury fashion, this language is spoken quietly, through form, material, and detail rather than excess.
