Its always been me

Me, saving myself

The showers felt colder, the coffee grew more bitter, and my life eventually consumed who I used to be.

I recognized the key pronoun “I”... it wasnt my mother nor my fathers future, but it was mine.
They couldnt be there to comfort and secure me, and I needed to recognize that I was the one who could stitch my future back together. I was waiting as if I was a damsel, when in reality I was my own knight.

I realized that I had a hero the entire time, however i discredited her as a panicked girl waiting for a rescue mission to pull her out of the water that was her life.

These words really speak to me because in life they are true. You can never count on anyone but yourself to rise above your problems. This empowering message is the absolute truth. People wait to be rescued by some amorphous angel never realizing that you are that angel. Thank you for sharing these words with us.
