I’m so sorry that you had to be strong, when you should have just been loved.
I’m so sorry that you had to become resilient when you should have just had safety.
“I wish I was as strong as you are”
No, no you don’t. The strength that I have comes from pain and suffering that I don’t want anyone to have to survive or overcome.
I lied.
I love the pressure.
I love being the youngest person at the table.
I love the hustle and the grind.
I love it when they doubt me.
And, I love it even more when I prove them all wrong.
Should I call dateline or should I be flattered?
I think I’m my next door neighbors Regina George… I planted two citrus trees, so she planted two citrus trees. I redid the gardens with mulch, so she redid the gardens with mulch.
Time doesn’t take away the questions and sinking feelings. How do you betray the person that’s closest to you in this world and then choose to not repair the damage.
