todays been really hard. im trying the best that i can to always be the best i can be, & to truly, deeply love myself. i have nurturing hands so comforting myself comes naturally, but im tired of bandaging the wounds others are continuously giving me. They tell me to grow thicker skin, & it hurts because I want to be soft. But how can you be soft in a world where no one knows how to handle you gently? I could grow thicker skin, but that wouldn’t stop you from trying to cut me deeper. As though The world hasn’t broken me down enough, & demanded I apologize for being me.
Learning to love yourself is hard when you have everyone screaming at you why you shouldn’t
