Right now

Right now , I feel the sting of being overlooked. Growing up, my dad wasn’t really there for me, while others around him were. That’s left a mark — one I still feel in relationships today.

Sometimes, it’s frustrating, sometimes it hurts, but it also reminds me: I’ve learned to protect my own heart and care for myself first.

Let’s talk:

• How do you protect your heart when others can’t meet your needs?
• Do you find yourself giving more than you get in relationships?

I’d love to hear how others navigate this.
