i’m not going to apologise for the trauma that keeps me up at night
i’m not going to apologise for how emotionally scarred it has left me
i’m not going to apologise for finding it difficult to go to certain places or to see certain people
i’m not going to apologise for asking people to avoid speaking about certain topics around me
i’m not going to apologise for needing to go to therapy but still struggling to open up, even to a therapist
i will never apologise again for the fact that my childhood was taken away from me and has left me with the burden of carrying trauma around. i will slowly open up to my therapist. i won’t apologise anymore for needing people to be a little bit more delicate. i didn’t ask for trauma to happen, nobody does. i didn’t deserve the trauma in the first place, i definitely don’t deserve to apologise for being a victim.
