Some people only like the watered down versions of you.

This sadness has been attached to me for as long as I can remember. As a child I felt it tagging alongside me. Back then I didn't understand what it was. My parents told me to get over it. Just be happy. So I pushed the feeling deep down in my bones. Till one day there was no more room left. Everything came out to the surface and I was still told to just be happy. The fake smile I wore on my face started to show its cracks. People around me began to see what I tried desperately for years to hide. Yet still no one helped me. I put my emotional needs in the hands of men who weren't emotionally mature enough to handle their own. I felt comfort in that trauma because that's all I knew from my past.

I wish I could say there was one event that released me finally from this living nightmare. But I would be lying. The truth is that sadness is still attached to me. Over the past few years I've learned to sit with it and find out its origin. Some of it will always be apart of me though. Its my past yes, but it will not be my future. I'm learning the lessons I was never taught growing up. I'm learning them myself. And as much as my childhood wounds still bleed from time to time, I've taught myself to dress them. I still hold on to some hope one day I'll remove all the things I carry. One day.

You matter now.

You are enough now.

You deserve a life that's actually worth living now.

You deserve happiness now.

You are lovable and worthy of love now.

You are worthy now.

It turns out that you can become the person you’ve always envisioned but you’ll still have the person you were before inside of you and you have to treat them with as much forgiveness and love as possible

[Text ID: “The language of poetry reminded me to stay alive. It reminded me that, when it felt like I had nothing, I was nothing, I still had words. I could ride language as if on a horseback, and it could take me anywhere, including deeply into myself.”]
