I felt as if I were dissolving, autumn breeze flowing cool and sweet between my ribs and into my veins, turning me from earth into air.

Tana French, In The Woods

[psych-facts]

I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. My body loved. And my soul understood.

When a guy says he doesn’t deserve you, agree with him.

When a guy says you’re so much better than him, tell him that you know.

When he puts himself down in an attempt to get you to willingly lower yourself, don’t take the bait.

[unabridgedwords]

Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness.

From the Mouths of Rapist: The Lyrics to Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines

[heartofcuriosity-deactivated201]

Society demands that we keep overcoming, overcoming, overcoming. But we don’t have to. Nowhere is it written that to be a really real human you have to brute force your way through your limits. Nowhere is it written that not doing so makes you less worthy. For most people, constantly refusing to acknowledge that you have limits is seen as a problem. We all have limits & we are supposed to acknowledge them, know where they are, work within them. But when you have a disability, it’s like everyone expects you to push past your limits all the time. They want to be inspired, or they want to not have to deal with the fact that a disability means “there are things I cannot and will never be able to do”, even as they expect me to know there are things I can do that they will never be able to. So we are pushed to keep ‘overcoming’, and if we can’t we are failures and lazy. But if we can, we aren’t really disabled. It’s a no win either way.

Abusers purposely set aside a group of people that they have not abused in order to put up a facade that they’re a good person. 

So if someone says, “But omg they’re nice to me!” be wary. Be really wary.

They are very good at deceiving those they don’t abuse and it’s not unusual if they are quite popular and very charming amongst people and that’s why they’re ‘good’ at trapping someone. You will obviously fall for their fake personality and once they have you, that’s when the abuse will occur and this is one reason why victims/survivors find it hard to believe/recognise they are being abused (more common if there’s no physical abuse). It’s really sly and disgusting but it’s sometimes hard to tell from the outside, unfortunately.

I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy.

I wanted to write down exactly how I felt, but somehow the paper stayed empty. And I could not have described it any better.

[onlinecounsellingcollege]

You have to learn to say no without feeling guilty. Setting boundaries is healthy. Respecting and taking care of yourself are crucial in life.
