So poignant. Yes it's true that we runaway from our faults and weakness because they make us feel vulnerable. We fit ourselves into a bubble where everything is perfect and when that perfection gives way to imperfections we fo deep into depression. Why can't we be like what we've dreamed of. Why do we fail each time. It's because we don't have confidence in ourselves or maybe we have set too high a standard for ourselves! Be real. Be realistic. You don't have to be perfect!
Thank you for reading, Jamal. It’s hard to know, when sharing such a personal experience, whether it will resonate with anyone else. I feel less alone knowing some part of this had an impact on you.☺️

Thank you for your thoughtful response, Beenish! I fully agree.
Thank you for sharing your poetry friend. These lines blew me away.
“You’re more prison guard than pampering parent.
But in some twisted way,
maybe I needed you?”
