It is extremely tough growing up having a mother who has never been satisfied with where she is at. Let alone being acceptant of her physical form, nor mind, because it is so frustrating to her with how often she forgets things. The car accident gave her short term memory loss and left side body paralysis. It's sad when you're used to the full use of your healthy, young body and you have to relearn to walk and talk again.

I feel like my whole life I have been settling, as well as watching those closest to me settle for less than they deserve. In my early 20's I became aware of that. I would try to change my habits but wouldn't really get anywhere. The grass was always greener somewhere else. It's been years of undervaluing my worth and being a constant people pleaser.
