A LITTLE MORE Personal
When my mom died I got a sense of urgency and realized that there’s not always a tomorrow and who really cares because the people that I thought would be there at the end weren’t. PERIOD. I spent so much time trying to be the perfect partner who didn’t know how to love me back. To try to make myself smaller in my family so i wasn’t unapproachable or arrogant in their eyes. I spent years trying to shrink to make people happy only for it to blow up my face.
