I think ultimately you become whoever should have saved you that time no one did.
I will save myself.
“if you’re lost you can look &you will find me. time after time. if you fall, I will catch, I will be waiting. time after time” - sang by me, to me.
I pretty much live life by singing a love song to myself.
I will save myself.
is that because people of my past have proven to love &then to leave? or is it because I refuse to show flaws, weakness, lostness to the ones around me?
it’s fine, I’m fine. sometimes lying to myself. always lying to the offered help.
today’s reflections - sometimes life is a bitch &the best only choice is to have my own damn back. but this is not always my truth. sometimes vulnerability = growth. &relying on others = connectivity. so how do we tell which moments are which? & how do we know who are our safe people?
Hiding Place
And sometimes the only way I can breathe
Is by taking my mind
To another place and time
Where I can be who ever I want to be
And then my fear and sadness
Just aren’t with me.
-E. Flowers

This is a song that just laid out a lot of my inner fears of what would happen to me if I didn’t Save Myself. I listened to this song a lot when I was deciding on whether or not to go to therapy. I’d like to say it pushed me in the right direction. Its a true musical expression of what can happen if you don’t love yourself and if you put others first too fast. Don’t misunderstand, its important to care for others but you need to be selfish sometimes. The truth is not everyone you care about is going to stick around forever, so if you really want to save those who are, you need to be at full health. Keep yourself healthy cause nobody is going to do it for you.
...y antes de salvar a alguien más debo salvarme a mí misma...
