Look what you just made me do.

‘cause it was never mine

guess I’ll just stumble on home to my cats…

Is it really your anxiety that stops you from giving me everything? Or do you just not want to?

As a speech therapist/educator, I’m always trying to find simple techniques/explanations to help little kids process and understand their emotions and then teach them healthy ways to express themselves when they’re angry, frustrated, etc. I notice that telling them I deal with the same difficulties, like wanting to yell when I’m angry, goes a long way. Then they know what they feel isn’t weird BUT there are ways to handle their emotions that don’t hurt themselves or others.

My entire moral code, as a kid and now, is a need to be thought of as good. It was all I wrote about. It was all I wanted. It was the complete and total belief system that I subscribed to as a kid. Do the right thing, do the good thing. And obviously im not a perfect person by any stretch, but overall the main thing that I always tried to be was a good girl
