You will not win the approval of every single person who perceives you.

There are plenty of people out there who you don't want the approval of.

Some people will think you're cringe, or annoying, or a hundred other things you try not to be.

Everyone will have an opinion about you. You get to choose which ones you care about, which ones you let shape yourself in response.

It takes practice to weed out the ones that don't matter. But it's worth it.

The fear of abandonment isn’t just about people leaving, it’s the gut-wrenching belief that you aren’t worth staying for.

“To live in the body of a survivor is to never be able to leave the scene of the crime. I cannot ignore the fact that I live here.”

— Blythe Baird, from If My Body Could Speak (via buttonpoetry)

One thing I’ve been thinking about lately is how understanding behaviour and excusing behaviour aren’t the same thing.

On both sides of this too.

I can understand why I reacted a certain way and still acknowledge that someone got hurt and I can understand where someone else is coming from and still decide I need distance.

This feels especially relevant because often we’re told or feel that ‘oh, well they were abused themselves and that’s why they abuse’. But the truth is you can understand why someone is the way they are, but it doesn’t mean you’re obligated to tolerate certain behaviours or even continue to have them in your life.
