I have spent the last few years of my life being reminded that I should just wait. Wait on others to define my goodness, my health, and my love. All had to be validated by someone else first, to be “real”. I was taught I had to have the patience for them to decide, decipher tests, or just simply have the time when they were not too busy for me, if I was worth it. Waiting was an admirable virtue. I allowed that. I recognized early on that anything, from anybody is better than nothing at all. So I learned how to wait. I let it go way beyond simple and necessary sharing and taking turns and it became about earning others approval so I might be good enough to be first. I am not blaming anyone but me, I allowed this! But…life is happening now I do not have any more time to wait or waste!
"You Get What You Give" New Radicals
You've got the music in you, Don't let go
You've got the music in you, One dance left
This world is gonna pull through, Don't give up
You've got a reason to live, Can't forget, We only get what we give
