Hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.

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.
