“When you love someone, it’s never over. You move on because you have to, but you take them with you in your heart.”

When friends from high school call you to tell you that the mutual friend you had SA-ed them, you remove the rapist from your life. Unfriend, unfollow, remove.

That's the decent thing to do and I don't know why other people don't understand that. It's been a consistent problem since I was old enough to use social media.

I know before too long I'm going to have to start unpacking all of the trauma of the last... idk, 10 years? But dealing with the embarrassment and shame that I feel and have been feeling since then is so indescribable.

“Whether you are staring back at the storm you escaped or simply trying to make sense of how you got here in the first place, know that this does not define you. You are a mosaic of every moment you cried and laughed and fought and hoped. This is a piece, a sliver of color, in your otherwise bright and effervescent life.”

"I'm not going anywhere, in less you're going with me" was all it took for me to sob. I've been doing well lately, but my parents divorce is really starting to hit new parts of my psyche.

“Sometimes healing comes in the flickering candlelight and steaming coffee at three in the morning, or laughter on the face of a dear friend, or moments of stillness and empathy in the presence of one who knows your story in a way no one else does. I used to pray for healing, but now, I pray for the humility to be seen and known and in turn to see and know those around me. Maybe ‘being healed’ is an illusion imposed by a society that values end goals over the process. Maybe there is more to life than getting rid of the suffering and pain and maybe there is beauty to be found in the midst of our darkest moments. Perhaps there is no singular destination to this journey called life, but perhaps the journey is worth it in its own right.”

Yo, Happier than Ever hits different when your parents are getting divorced and your dad is back with his (in his own words) toxic ex-girlfriend and making things messy.

All we wanted was to be happy as a family and you got all you wanted and still left for her. You bought her kids Christmas gifts. You went on vacations with her. You chose her over us.
