Going to college in California was the most selfish thing that I have ever done
It taught me that being selfish is not always a bad thing
That ‘selfish’ is not a bad word
And that I may feel bad sometimes, but I am not a bad person.

So here we are, both in this space.
Shared or divided, this is no race
that any of us are winning

We hate them…

Why?

Because they took something from us

I am not very versed in writing about things that are positive, or things that make me happy.
I am good at going through something, and trying to find meaning in it.

I can stand here and know that I wasn’t enough.
That I’d never be enough, no matter how hard I tried. 
My therapist tells me that it’s not my fault, but the voice in my head tells me it is.

Took me a while to realize that the voice in my head was NOT my voice,
and that you really shouldn’t let people inside who weren’t invited.
