I tried everything and I‘m Not enough. I‘m a disappointment you said that mum. And after everything that you‘ve done to me I‘ve kept trying because all I‘ve ever wanted is that you love and care about me.
- Hazel
I am someone who thinks and feels much – more than is reasonable. And that is all.
— Virginia Woolf, from Moments Of Being: Unpublished Writings
Why do I even expect people to understand me? I mean am I just not enough to understand myself or what!? I mean I am the best person who can understand me and I know myself the best!! So y the need!!?🤔
“Learn to be alone, and to like it. There’s nothing more freeing and empowering than learning to like your own company.”

The world is kinder than it seems from the view of your abusive relationships.
I know it doesn't seem like it. It seems scary, and stressful, and unfair, and terrifying beyond belief. Maybe you were fed lies about what the world is like - abusers can go above and beyond to keep you depended on them, to keep you afraid. Maybe you were hurt, badly, by malice or by negligence of the masses.
But remember that the world is also large. And even if your family, school, work or hometown is cruel, there's kindness elsewhere. There are people who will listen. There are people who will believe and who will do their best to help.
You might not be ready to trust the world, to give some kindness to it, and that okay. Understandable, even. But.. I want you to remember that kindness and happiness do exist, and you'll sure as hell find yours.
i'm tired of giving others the privilege of being the light in my life. i am the moon and this is my sky and i will shine. i will shine all bright and beautiful, all by myself.
