Daphne code

Inspired by the general "girl code" I made my own code: things people have to know about me, but almost nobody knows. Be prepared for a lot of awkward facts and things I can refer to.

How can I love someone when I can’t love myself? How can I be the love of someone’s life when I wish I wasn’t even alive?

My trauma is not “brave” it is not “strong”. I, and other trauma survivors are not here for you to look to for strength.

What we have been through has hurt us, for some the pain has been a cause of death. I want to repeat to you, we are not strong, we are not brave. We are hurting and this is not a romantic notion.

We do the only thing we can, we persist, we keep living our lives, we seek justice, we seek healing. This is not strength, its resilience in the face of hardship. Because if we do not keep going, then what other option is there?

People who are brave continue in face of danger, they see the danger and step in anyway. A brave person would be someone who saw me being abused and then stepped in. I am not brave, because I didnt ask for what happened to me.

All I want, all we want, is for people to recognize that we are hurting inside, for someone to ask if theres anything they can do to help us cope, or to help us get help, or to just recognize that what ive been through makes me react differently to most other people.

I dont want to open up just so I can be praised for being “brave” when Im not. I want support, I want help, and most of all I want you to understand.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

i’m constantly stuck between ‘hug me and make me feel valid’ and ‘touch me and i’ll rip your fucking guts out’

I’ve come to the realization that our relationship failed not because I didn’t love you, but because I didn’t love myself.

You’re like one of those dogs, the unwanted ones that have been mistreated all their lives. You can kick them and kick them, but they’ll still come back to you, cringing and wagging their tails. Begging. Hoping that this time it’ll be different, that this time they’ll do something right and you’ll love them.

Who hurt you so much that you started to hate yourself?

C, You called my wild life interesting, now it’s too much. You called my sarcasm endearing, now it’s irritating. You called my art inspiring, now it’s dull. You called me special, now I’m a freak. You called me your girlfriend, now you won’t. You said you loved me, now you don’t.
