My best friend in the whole entire world walked away from me and never looked back. Yes, I check in on her on social media every now and then because I still miss her.
I left a narcissist with having had the last word, because leaving them with nothing was better than anything else. To this day, that was still the right decision because I deserved more than that fake apology in which they turned it all on me in the end.
I have been victim shamed and gaslighted by people who should have been protecting me.
I lived a childhood that most people never experience their whole life. Images still hunt me to this day.
I learned the darkest darks that happen when life starts to shut down. I witnessed loss, and I experienced loss. I learned what true heartache was before I was old enough to drive. I learned really fast how lonely and empty life can be for some people, and it's a really big dark hole.
I was determined to leave this life with something big and beautiful behind. I have all these big huge feelings inside and sometimes nowhere to put them. Where is everyone?
Everyone is struggling. Everyone has something. And I don’t say this to dismiss my own struggles. But I say that with the empathy I learned as a child. Everyone is circling the drain.
There is reality and then there is the reality that people think is. It’s the reality of “everything is okay” but the actual dimension we live in is not “okay”. I see you though- and I’m over here. I’m hurting too, but maybe we can hurt together?
