She said,
“Lauren, you have to protect yourself from you.”
And Lawd, I didn’t want to know what she meant, but of course I knew.
She’s my mother, after all.
Why is she almost, always right?
But she was and she is.
I just didn’t want to know it.
But now I do.
What powerful words.
“Protect yourself from you.”
Amen Momma.
