No one ever told her it was okay
to make mistakes.
No one told her there was nothing
wrong with needing help.
No one told her it was normal to
feel upset, or angry, or overwhelmed
now and then.
Everyone in her life took her
perfectionism for granted and didn’t
realize how suffocating it was.
And because no one gave the
young woman permission to be human,
she thought she was a failure
for being one.
