“The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely.”
— Lorraine Hansberry, b. 19 May 1930

A journal entry from a week ago
“Maybe in a year I could write something. There is something in me maybe someday to be written; now it is folded, and folded, and folded, like a note in school.”
— Sharon Olds, from “September 2001: New York City,” in Stag’s Leap (Alfred A. Knopf, 2012)
“I had a terrible broken heart when I was twenty-two years old, and I wanted to wear a T-shirt announcing it to everyone. Instead, I got so drunk I fell in the middle of Sixth Avenue and scraped all the skin off my knee. Then you could see it, no T-shirt necessary—see something, that bloody bulb under torn jeans, though you couldn’t have known what it meant.”
— Leslie Jamison, “Grand Unified Theory of Female Pain”

Your responses to past traumas are not you. You are more than the result of abuse. You are slowly healing. It hurts because the damage was real and you're recovering from that.
Linda Gregg, from In The Middle Distance: Poems of L. G. “Mother My Mother,”
love is insane you feel like you're always subtly asking "do you still love me even though i'm flawed" and the answer just keeps being yes
God said:
GOD MADE YOU. GOD DOES NOT CARE IF YOU ARE “GUILTY” OR NOT.
I said:
I CARE IF I AM GUILTY!
I CARE IF I AM GUILTY!…
God was silent.
Everything was SILENT.
— Frank Bidart, from “The War of Vaslav Nijinsky”; Half-light: Collected Poems 1965-2016

Yeah sure you have the right to say it and sure you can. But is it kind? At its heart, is it kind? And if it isn’t kind, then is there some other redeemable quality which legitimises its voice? When you give voice to something, it is no longer only yours. You are not calling into an abyss. There is a recipient. There is a consequence. You do have a responsibility for that voice. To consider what you do with it and to be deliberate. I am not saying you must always be kind - but when you are not, are you aware that you are not?
