Today I sit with the regret,
That maybe, just maybe,
If I had protected those fragile parts of me,
Though I did not know how,
Maybe they wouldn’t have been shattered like this.
Maybe if I had loved myself as fiercely as I loved,
Maybe if I gave myself the same grace I gave,
Maybe I would not have been a stepping stone,
For unclean feet.

when you say you didn’t protect those parts of you, do you feel like you saw the signs and ignored them, or you just didn’t know yet what you needed?
i gave EVERYTHING to someone once and left nothing for myself, and yeah, it left me feeling used in ways i didn’t even see coming. that “why didn’t i protect myself” thought still hits sometimes
I feel this, the regret is so heavy right now 😞
I hope things get better for you girl you deserve it <3
we usually put so much pressure on ourselves that maybe we could have protected ourselves better and not been in that moment. I want to remind you and myself that we’re only humans and it’s absolutely Normal to have feelings and make mistakes. if we didn’t do this we would be dead
