two different worlds

DISCONTINUED

"I just want someone to assure me everyday that I'm enough you know, to know that I mean something to someone, like to feel wanted or something. But that makes me sound needy"

Maritza says after letting out a long breath, first she was looking at Flaca but after a while she felt butterflies about to come out of her mouth so she decided it was for the best to avoid the tall woman's brown orbs

"what's wrong with being needy? that's cute"

Flaca says scoffing

"some see it as clingy? they don't understand the difference between wanting the attention and compliments and actually needing to be someone's priority and needing to be complimented cause you're falling apart and no one seems to notice. They don't understand why people like me get jealous, it's not cause we want them for ourselves I mean we do but more than that we just feel continuously threatened by anyone who goes near them cause in our heads we're not enough for them and we'll never be enough"

Maritza explains her voice breaking multiple times covering her face with her hands, Flaca laid there dumbfounded she didn't know what to say. She didn't know how to make the small girl feel better and that pained her, so she said something she never thought she would say to her

"can I hug you?"
