i’m afraid.
⠀
a mother grew up with people who had no love in them.
she was never shown what love is.
and she has never been taught how to love.
– so a mother did not carry any love,
neither for herself nor for someone else.
⠀
and now a kid grew up with people who had no love in them.
a kid was never shown what love is.
and a kid was never taught how to love.
– so a kid is afraid to carry no love in it.
fear not to be able to love,
neither itself nor anyone else.
