“your trauma made you stronger” no, my trauma made me traumatized, it made me weak, gave me sleepless nights and it gave me feelings i’ve never wanted. i made myself stronger by dragging myself out of a dark place and dealing with consequences that weren’t my fault
can we talk about how parents will literally ruin their relationship with their own child all because they don’t know how to apologize and admit when they’ve done wrong
the most difficult lesson i’ve faced as an adult is the unending need to survive, regardless of my emotional state. whether i’m heartbroken, mourning or exhausted, i must push forward. life is indifferent to our struggles, the only option is to keep moving
“stop being sensitive” no, you stop being insensitive. respect how people respond to things and situations. what’s little for you might be big to others
shoutout to the girls that hate their bodies but are trying really hard to find the beauty and comfort in them because that shit is hard, it takes a lot of time and is emotionally exhausting. i’m proud of you all
