A sign, a second chance
Ever since I was little, I was told to act a certain way. I've been told what to do my entire life, what to say, how to act— basically, how to live. 'Alicia, don't talk too loud since people don't want to hear you. It's rude'. I wish I had the courage to say, 'how can you think that it's ok to say that to me, to minimise me into someone I don't want to be. Someone who doesn't like themselves. Someone afraid'.

Two Sides of the Same...
“What are you doing here?” “I could ask you the same thing, but I won’t. I know how upset you become when asked to explain yourself. I always wondered why that is. Do you have something to hide I should know about. I could help if you need it, and you would let me.” “Why do you always assume I have done something or am about to do something disagreeable? I don’t think I’m that kind of person, do you?” Our relationship has always been like that; rocky would best describe it. Different sides of the same… I hadn’t realized how different we really were until we were about three maybe four years o...
