I treated my body like it should wait

Dear Delyara, I think that has been one of my worst habits. I treated my body like it should wait. Wait until the shift ends. Wait until the bills are handled. Wait until everyone else’s needs are met. Wait until the timing is better. Wait until the pain is clearer. Wait until I am less inconvenient. Bodies do not wait like that forever. I am trying now to become someone who listens sooner. It is harder than I wish it were.
