Everything is my fault.
I let things escalate. I loved them longer than necessary. I cared more than required.
I should have cut them off at the first sign of BS. I should have drawn boundaries when I saw a pattern. I should have stood up for myself. I should have said No.
I should not have been so innocent. I should have learnt how to talk. I should have realised what was happening sooner.
I should have learnt my lesson and not loved people when they showed me who they are.
Hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.
But not anymore.
