you can’t always
I am very bad at getting what I want. And I am very bad at acknowledging what I need without apologizing for it. And I am very bad at asking for what I need because I can’t get past apologizing for needing it. I just keep my eyes open for it, in case it might happen along at an opportune moment. Because that’s the only way I’ll truly deserve what I get if/when I get what I need?
But I stay busy giving everyone else whatever they want from me, whether they deserve it or not.
