she owes herself an apology. for thinking she was never enough. for staying in relationships that kept breaking her heart. for forgiving people who never changed. for believing that everyone had the same good intentions she did. she feels sorry for herself for all the times she was disrespected, betrayed, and hurt by the people she loved the most. for pretending she was okay when she was falling apart. but most of all, she owes herself an apology for abandoning her own needs just to keep others happy.
