“When a wound doesn’t mend on its own, one of two things will happen: it can either remain raw or, more commonly, be replaced by a thick layer of scar tissue. As an open sore, it is an ongoing source of pain in a place where we can be hurt over and over again by even the slightest stimulus. It compels us to be ever vigilant - always nursing our wounds, as it were - and leaves us limited in our capacity to move flexibly and act confidently lest we be harmed again. The scar is preferable, providing protection, and holding tissues together, but it has its drawbacks: it is tight, hard, inflexible, unable to grow, a zone of numbness. The original healthy, alive flash, is not regenerated.”

“I am not very good at taking criticism.
I know you weren't criticizing me when you decided to be with her.
But it feels like everything you give her that you couldn't give me is a statement of my faults.
I imagine you kiss lines down her body that spell out all of the reasons I am unlovable.”

“If you're like me
you struggle with walking away from situations
that aren't healthy for you
If you're like me
it is hard to see the line between I care for you and I will put your needs before mine until my feet are blistered from racing to catch you every time you fall
If you're like me
then listen
Walking away from situations that are hurting you does not mean that you are heartless
It means that you have outgrown the shoes you've been using to chase unreciprocated love
It means that you are learning to value yourself
You have not lost your capacity to love
You are discovering how to love you.”
