i weep for the girl i used to be. i was smart, witty, and i cared about everyone around me. too many times i was told i was stupid and inadequate. too often i was rejected from conversations. and too many times i put others needs before my own. scared to say i needed help. now i’m painfully aware that i will never get her back. i wasted her potential and now i will be behind everyone who was like me. i could’ve gone to med school if i wanted. but now i have a GED and some addictions.
