So despite my put together facade as a youth, I was insecure. Lacked self-worth. Had no clue what self-esteem was about. I had a wonderfully caring but busy mom with her own baggage. And a father who was there at conception, cheated and cavorted around when I was little and an older brother who essentially made me feel like an only child. So, needless to say I felt alone and did not realize it. So I settled for any love that came my way. Be it it friendships, relationships or situationships. I was available, and some not so good people took advantage of my desire to not be lonely and to need, in general.

So, biggest advice. You deserve better and are worth more than you can imagine. And there is a God who loves you and will lead you to the right people at the right time. And that good is worth waiting for.

The End🥲
