It’s okay to require things from people in your life…

You think you’re being a low-maintenance partner, but you’re actually just afraid your partner won’t show up to your needs, so you pretend not to have any. You should impact a space you’re in. It’s okay to require things from the people in your life. You’re not ‘too much’.

That was totally me when I was younger. My parents weren’t exactly loving and attentive, and my mother was also “sick” which left my sister and I to carry the family load. So I learned from a young age to meet my own needs, and care for others. This became a problematic pattern in my relationships. Thankfully, I went to therapy and learned how to be in a mutually beneficial relationship. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
