occasionally i still just sit and reflect on the fact that 2B and 9S are in love

is that it isn’t all bad.

there are soooo many good parts, when the abuser isn’t hurtful, when they’re nice, when we can even love them.

and so it makes it even more confusing when it happens, and even more uncomfortable to talk about it because you feel like you’re exaggerating.

i love my father, and he has said that he loves me. do i believe him? maybe.

but there are other times when i don’t think so,

Because your abuser always told you you weren’t really upset.

Or that what you’re upset about is trivial.

Or that you’re overreacting again.

Or that your being upset is ruining everyone else’s mood.

Or that you’re being a baby.

Or that you need a thicker skin.

Or you’re told to go away until you can be a decent person again.

You believe your feelings don’t matter unless you express the “right” ones the “right” way at the “right” time, and you can never do it “right.”

You believe everybody has it worse, so there’s no point in talking about it when you feel bad.

It’s easier to isolate yourself when you’re sad, angry or hurt because it feels easier than “inflicting” yourself on somebody else.

Even when there are beautiful people in your life who say you can always come to them, you still don’t because you’re scared.

The fancomic I created for Brandon Sanderson’s “Words of Radiance” called Bridging Chasms. Tumblr wouldn’t let me upload all the pages in one post - so here’s the first 9 pages. You can download the completed comic on my Gumroad page for free! I hope you like it!
