"everyone deserves second chances"
"he really is a nice guy, he just lost his way and his family is too stupid to help"
"i owe it to him to help him out because i've known him a long time and i broke his heart once. i didn't mean to, but it doesn't mean that i don't deserve to suffer now."
"i'm not going to put up with this much longer. . . i know i don't want to be with him, but i could be with him if he got better." <---- HUH??
"if you knew him from before, like i did, you would think he's the most amazing guy ever."
