People expect you to be what they want

People expect you to be like everyone

Everyone thinks they know who you are

The irony is no one knows who you are

The scariest thing is you yourself dont even know who you are.

So how do others know who you are?

The sad thing is when we are told that this is the way we supposed to be, we try to be that because that what we believe is going to make us, that is a lie.

What you want and the expectation of others are two distinct things that should never cross but unfortunately these days its far to common.

So we decide to follow the expectation instead of who we actually want to be.

I was supposed to be a perfect daughter

I was supposed to be a perfect student

I was supposed to be a perfect friend

I was supposed to be a perfect sister

I couldn't live up to the expectations of others.

I got tired of feeling like I wasn't enough

I used to think that being broken was beautiful thing but the truth is when we are broken we try to put the pieces back together it might not be the same as before but its stronger.

I wasn't willing to put the pieces backs.

So, it took longer for me to pick up the pieces, at times I was confused to how to move forward. Where would I put each piece?

Would it be right for me?

Would it healer better?

We become more unique with each experience

It takes time to heal.
