Your writing has moved me, and I sympathize with your plight. I look forward to more of your simple yet elegant prose.
Have you heard of the 'Halo' effect? It's where when someone has some good characteristics, people will generally attribute even more positive traits than that person has to them. For example, when someone is kind and outgoing, most people will also assume they are caring, when they might not be. It's common among people who are in love.

The 'Halo' effect can also make people overlook bad traits, and focus on the good ones. That's your interesting tidbit of the day!
