We are all different and many of us are fortunate to have a therapist or a friend who can be there for us when we need them.

In my experience, they have not been.

And in that way, I was forced to learn how to give that to myself.

Because they could or would not.

I do encourage us to learn that. To be there for ourselves. To do much much research on our conditions/conditionings and see how we can treat ourselves well.
