this dog is that character you think is evil but actually has a heart of gold

Much of my life had been devoted to trying not to cry in front of people who loved me…You clench your teeth. You look up. You tell yourself that if they see you cry, it will hurt them, and you will be nothing but a sadness in their lives, and you must not become a mere sadness, so you will not cry, and you say all of this to yourself while looking up at the ceiling, and then you swallow even though your throat does not want to close and you look at the person who loves you and smile.

Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul.

“…And the history books forgot about us, and the bible didn’t mention us. Not even once.”

Commit to loving yourself completely. It’s the most radical thing you will do in your lifetime.

Do not tell everyone your story. You will only end up feeling more rejected. People cannot give you what you long for in your heart. The more you expect from people’s response to your experience of abandonment, the more you will feel exposed to ridicule.
