emotional neglect from your parents is so hard to contend with. they didn't beat the fuck out of me exactly but they didn't care if i got hurt or what the fuck i was doing and they didn't teach me how to be a person in the most fundamental ways. and you can't explain this to anyone without sounding like an angsty teenager who can't get over anything

You can still make a beautiful life for yourself even if you feel like you've lost many years to grief and sadness.

and i do have hope that there’s something beautiful and unimaginable unfolding, even if i can’t see it.
