If someone had taught me my needs and wants…
If someone had taught me my needs and wants mattered… That would be someone else’s childhood, not mine, My whole life would be different, I wouldn’t be in therapy, I could’ve created a life, I’d have fought for something, I would’ve stayed out, out of guilt, with a man I don’t love, I treat them as important, my whole life wouldn’t be duty and obligation, I would’ve believe people about the beauty of sacrifice, I would have thought more about what really mattered to me.
