what's wrong babe you've barely touched your potential even though all your elementary teachers really liked you and said you were gifted and that you were going to do great things

Even if you were a difficult child, you didn't deserve to be hurt.

I hope this message reaches all the neurodiverse and disabled people who were made to feel like their abuse was justified because they had "behaviors".

While this message is true for every child, you are who I had in mind when I wrote it.

You didn't deserve it from your parents or guardians. You didn't deserve it from your other family members. You didn't deserve it from your teachers. You didn't deserve it from your coaches. You didn't deserve it from your religious leaders. You didn't deserve it from your psychologists and psychiatrists. You didn't deserve it from your physicians. You didn't deserve it from your classmates. You didn't deserve it from your first bosses. You didn't deserve it from your first significant others. You didn't deserve it at home. You didn't deserve it at school, or eventually work. You didn't deserve it on the playground. You didn't deserve it at church or temple. You didn't deserve it at the doctor's office. You didn't deserve it anywhere. You didn't deserve it then, and you don't deserve it now. You deserved, and still deserve, so much better.

Love is awful. It’s awful! It’s painful! It’s frightening. It makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. It makes you selfish. It makes you creepy, makes you obsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do things you never thought you would do! It’s all any of us want, and it’s hell when we get there. So no wonder it’s something we don’t want to do on our own. I was taught if we’re born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. People talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right it’s easy. But I’m not sure that’s true. It takes strength to know what’s right. And love isn’t something that weak people do.

For example... "I don't mind when your friends come over, but I need you to give me at least 24 hours' notice. If that's something you can't give me, then please meet your friends somewhere else." "Hey, we've been together for years now, and I'd really like us to get married in the near future, but (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), it seems to me like you're not really interested in marriage. That's okay, but I need to know what you really want, because if it's not marriage, I think it's best we go our separate ways." "I can't come over this weekend, but does next weekend work for you?" "I don't feel like we're ready to get an apartment together just yet, but I will be happy to give you a drawer, so that you can store a change of clothes, toiletries, and whatever else when you come over."
