Wow what a mind f**k. 

Three women think about their relationships to themselves, men, and the world around them. They think about how they treat themselves how society treats them instead of with gentleness and kindness. How they accept the love they think they deserve. And how things get worse before they get better. 

This narrative will stay with me for a longtime. Who in my life am I letting abuse my generosity when they don’t deserve it? Where can I treat myself kinder?
