"People should be celebrated for rebuilding their lives after this kind of loss...It certainly would be nice if we spent more time acknowledging this, because the efforts one must make after a breakup are truly herculean. The reward, of course, is inner peace." SO fucking thankful for the people in my life who always acknowledge & celebrate me. how incredibly lucky am i to be surrounded with so much love.

"When you've lived through trauma, your mind and body can play tricks on you. Your body might react with fear and anxiety, trying its best to prevent you from doing exactly what might be most beneficial for you. It's essential to question and challenge these automatic reactions, as daunting as this may be. Yes, confronting your fears can be frightening in and of itself, but what's even more frightening is spending an adulthood that parallels the loneliness of your childhood." (185)
