How broken I was

I had not lived up
to your expectations

    ahh now this is one that I can relate to so very much.. I've lived it and at times I still do.. what matters the most however is if we've lived up to our own. though I must say others have done this to me, my own family and its a crappy thing to have to go through.

    good luck

    Good

    I can relate to this. Just remember that the most important person to live up to is yourself, that can be the hardest thing of all.

    Oh, those are harsh words to hear. We all hear them at some point, I think, from a parent trying to motivate us.

    Oh my! This sure packs with a punch of reality. I know many of us will be able to relate in one way or another.
    Another stunning piece from your quill.
    Best wishes sis.

    Such a let down with negative demeaning words, broken. Versed elegantly.

    Whoa ~

    I didn't see the picture til after I read it and I almost didn't want too because this paints a picture by itself and when I gaze at the picture I find it all just exploded in front of me out of perfection

    Best of Luck

    Stay safe
