“I’m not fascinated by people who smile all the time. What I find interesting is the way people look when they are lost in thought, when their face becomes angry or serious, when they bite their lip, the way they glance, the way they look down when they walk, when they are alone and smoking a cigarette, when they smirk, the way they half smile, the way they try and hold back tears, the way when their face says they want to say something but can’t, the way they look at someone they want or love… I love the way people look when they do these things. It’s… beautiful.”

— Clemence Poésy

No, but we were all shaking when ryle said "where did you get that magnet lily?".

Colleen hoover shows us every good thing about a character, romanticizes it, makes us love it, swoon over it then just when we reach a peak point and we've fallen knee deep for the character, she shows us the worst side of it and we're left utterly unraveled.

“Pessimistically speaking, we could break each other's hearts again tomorrow— I know we won't, but even if we did, I vow that I will be immensely grateful for the love that led to that heartbreak until the day that I die. If it's my destiny to end up a statistic, there's no one else I'd rather become a statistic with than you.”

– Colleen Hoover, It starts with us

i'll bring the light right back... 🪩⭐️

There’s a part of me that isn’t the same anymore.

🐍

i want someone who sees the bad in me and still wants to stay.

After you leave a toxic or abusive environment, a lot of normal things are going to feel weird, and just plainly awful at the beginning. Buying that thing you've always wanted can make you feel guilty for spending money on yourself. Resting can feel a lot more like being lazy. Safety and happiness can feel so temporary, almost like you are just waiting for life to get bad again.

It's normal, it's part of the process. You will get used to be at peace. To feel joy. To be safe. I know you will<3

it’s unfair how i have the responsibility to heal myself when i didn’t cause my wound in the first place

can we skip to the part where i’m healed and nothing bad ever happens to me again

A few weeks ago, I saw a tiktok of a person mockingly saying, “when his only ‘trauma’ is his parents getting divorced” and I haven’t stopped thinking about it for a while. It is a common idea that frustrates me beyond belief. Just because a traumatic experience is common and or not “as bad” as other traumatic experiences does not make it any less traumatic. Seeing your parents separate and having to deal with that for your entire childhood is very hard. Especially if there’s fighting and bitterness between the two parties, which, once again, is very common. Trauma is trauma. Is there different levels of severity? Yes. Does that make it any less valid. No. Not at all. No child should have to deal with trauma, even if that trauma isn’t “that bad” or common. And a person’s experience with that trauma should never be belittled.

You are not what happened to you. You didn't deserve to go through all that. You deserved to be loved, to feel safe, to be safe. You deserved kindness. Patience. You deserved better.
