It led me to the wrong relationships

If you want proof that I didn’t think I could be powerful, there’s this: for a long time, I only dated guys who treated me like I was a trophy wife in the making. I dated men who focused on the fact that I was pretty and that I was sweet. I felt that I had this whole other side to me that I was hiding from them—the side that is outspoken and funny and strong—because I felt that side would scare them away.
