I’m Not Ready

Wasn’t ready at 3 to be a parent to my parents. Did it anyway.

Wasn’t ready to be a parent at 17, to my own firstborn. Did it anyway.

Wasn’t ready for divorce or single parenting in my 20’s, but did it anyway.

Wasn’t ready to leave home at 19, to leave the state, with no support system. Did that.
