I know that I'm deserving of respect, and love, and friendship that sees me, holds me with softness, and fills up my cup.
That can tell me when I'm wrong and when I'm right. That feels like family.
Reciprocity has always been fleeting. Knowing now that I was giving the benefit of the doubt to so many people when that was not afforded to me is a hard pill to swallow.
I hope in the future I can find people that can be truly open with me, especially when it's uncomfortable.
Maaan I can't take much more of this. How many times can a boundary be crossed until there is no going back? I'm so tired of having to stand up for myself to my own family.
