There's a price for everything in life, but you don't always have to pay the asked price if it's too high, or you don't like it, nor do you always need to purchase what's offered, or sell what's in high demand. Most especially, if your father was a baker, you do NOT settle for breadcrumbs!!
Don't accept peanuts of affection, of effort, of gestures. Refuse the bargains, quit the deal. Say NO, learn to say no, start with maybe. The road to claiming your worth and discovering your true value is long, but it can start with a simple act of saying thanks, but no thanks. In fact, drop the politeness too, it has now become a language of bargaining. A malicious manipulation of the desired endings through twisted emotions tapping and playing. A politeness as fake as gentleness and masked kindness; it's a trap! Don't fall for it, escape the trap by saying, maybe, we'll see, I'll think of it. If you stick to this long enough, you might end up recovering your full autonomy, reclaiming your dignity, attaining sovereignty. This is the bi-product of sobriety, congratulate yourself if you've reached it. Shake off the addictions, the attachments, the dependency. Repeat after me: NO!
Better yet, walk away, without uttering a word, for when all has been said and done, there won't be anything left for you to do but the sole act of salvaging yourself, in the lands of eager, hungry, hollow spirits, calling themselves humans.
