Enough

Revelations from therapy

You feel that you are not enough

Although you didn’t quite know it. You didn’t understand why every time you and your boyfriend stopped in a store you liked there was an overwhelming sense of guilt. A sudden shift as if you were a small child, feeling guilty, waiting for forgiveness. 

You didn't understand why it seemed impossible to voice the words your brain screamed.

“I need”

“I need”

“I need”


locked inside. begging to escape. to be heard. 


to be validated.


but instead you find yourself hiding, becoming smaller due to a lie that you told yourself. a lie you were taught from the beginnings of your memory.

You do matter. Your needs are not an inconvenience. You deserve to speak those trapped feelings. Free yourself from the bounds you knew as a child. Be the mother you needed. The mother who knows her own needs.
