my submissive core

“The ones who really care for you will never be deceived by the misconceptions you have about yourself. They will see love in you in times when you do not love yourself. They will see healing in you in times when you are mentally exhausted. And they will always see hope in you in times when you are just too tired to live. They will always be there waiting for you to get back on your feet as they carry you through their arms and shoulders as you once again learn set one foot in front of another in your journey to finding who you are.”

“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say My tooth is aching than to say My heart is broken.”
