Selectively Juggling

I wish I had learned about the pain that can come from having unmet expectations of both self and others. I wish I’d know that true beauty comes from the inside. I wish I’d known about narcissists and the art of skilful projection and gaslighting. I wish I knew that I was worthy, I was enough regardless of what social demographic I belonged to. I wish I had learned not to listen to negative naysayers and simply stay true to my course.
