how i get over being a people pleaser:
in a dream, i burn my fingertips off and move south. i call my mother less often and i cry to strangers on the train without asking their name. i lose all my friends and grow my hair. i scream randomly and i’m unashamed. i correct my siblings when they hurt me and i block every man off my contact list - i never say sorry again.
so when i woke up, i said: “i accept you, self.
empty hands,
full belly,
tired eyes and all.
i accept you, self.
even if you don’t want to hear it yet;
i accept you, self.
and i will never call you selfish for it.
i will never call you selfish for it.
i will never call you selfish for it.” - m
