Unlearn the hard way

by Kat Lucido

We are the byproduct of our environment. At some point, you either take ownership of your life or become a prisoner to your excuses. While it make sense that you learned to protect yourself the way you did, it’s also okay to unlearn. To question. To grow. To change. It’s on you to become the person you were never shown how to be. Maturity is unlearning everything that asked you to be less.
