“Some People Come Into Our Lives, And Leave Footprints On Our Hearts, And We Are Never, Ever The Same.”

Abuse doesn’t make you ‘tough’, it makes it so when someone hurts you, you get a massive flashback to every time anyone has ever hurt you, you have to remove yourself from the situation to get a massive breakdown, you don’t get to react properly because you’re overwhelmed and unsure what’s real, and at the end of the day you’re filled with doubt over whether you feelings are all wrong and what amount of upset you’re allowed to be and you just sit there devastated asking yourself what is wrong with you and why can’t you be normal

Especially when it's about your stuff!

“I like it when somebody gets excited about something. It’s nice.”

— J.D. Salinger (via meineluft)

You were not a bad child. You were not difficult. You were not a burden. You were not evil.

You were a child.

It was the people around you who had a problem

And it was the people around you who were selfish enough to take their problems out on a child who was too small and helpless to defend themself.

It was the people around you who raised you to hate yourself.

And it's hard to believe when that awful environment is all you've known

But there are people out there who would be horrified at the way you've suffered

And there are people out there who would think you're amazing

It's not your fault you grew up in an abusive household

They're the ones who chose to mistreat you

And they were the ones who convinced you to blame yourself

And you deserve better

I promise you, you deserve better

Always defend your right to heal at your own pace. You are taking your time. You are allowed to take your time.

I feel very small. I don't understand. I have so much courage, fire, energy, for many things, yet I get so hurt, so wounded by small things.

It has always been between the devil and the deep sea for me !
