breath all out

I hope we all give our kids a childhood they don’t have to heal from

It's really hard when you think you're healed from something and it affects you all over again. Like an old trigger still has an effect on you, or an old self-destructive habit comes back, or you still have panic attacks or nightmares over something you thought you were over. I know it really sucks, but it doesn't mean that you haven't made progress. It's okay if healing isn't a straight line.

The sun will always rise and dogs always be happy to see you

be so private they can’t do anything but assume

I wonder what it feels like to know what the fuck is going on

sticks and stones may break my bones but words can reinforce unhealthy thinking habits and amplify negative worldviews in ways that have longterm consequences to my mental health

This year has changed me more than I ever thought it would. 

Those deep conversations you skip sleep for

Loyalty isn’t difficult. You’re just immature.
