Me before Them

I’ve often adjusted myself for others. Some may dispute this fact, and I acknowledge their right to do so. I am in a continuous process of learning that sacrificing my own needs doesn’t guarantee the permanence of anyone or anything. I repeatedly observe that when I pause and take gradual, meaningful actions, things align. This echoes a truth I have come to embrace –

Now I wonder in retrospect—did I mistake my anxiety for necessity? My fear of loss for genuine connection?

With humbling smiles,
