#being let down

Stretch marks.

There's a post going around about stretch marks. I just wanted to share my feelings. I have stretch marks on various parts of my body, I have since puberty when I grew pretty quickly. For the most part, they don't bother me but the ones on my stomach do.

The ones across my lower stomach remind me of how alone I was during my pregnancy, even with my partner.

I have a four inch one that looks like a scar. I got that one from being ignored and fobbed off by my male doctor for years as a teen when I had stomach issues that caused pain and swelling and had a deep impact on me emotionally.

I'm stuck with them, a reminder of being let down when I was vulnerable. I hate them.

One of the hardest things for me to internalize: self-validation.

Missed me on the way down

You said to jump

You said you would catch me, so I did

But you missed me on the way down

You always do, but you hang around

How can you say you love something that doesn't work?

How can you ease something that will always hurt?

I put my thoughts  in your pocket, I never gave them so exclusively

You love being wrapped in my chaotic melody

and I have no idea why.

Every time you place your hand in mine,

a little piece of me goes with with it

Maybe I just shouldn't be held

Because I let you become the glue

and I don't need to add to my pre-existing issues

but you made me believe, made think I could have something safe

It was wrong. It was all wrong.

I was wrong... to fall in the first place .

You can't fix me

Why do you keep trying?

Always so concerned when I close up

I laugh in the face of care

Because when I loved it had meant everything...

I loved him, and now he isn't here..

But you are , and you're no better

Don't lose yourself in my stormy weather

by coming to look for me

the one you say you treasure

I'm supposed to trust you ... ? I should have never.

Never regret being a good person, to the wrong people. Your behaviour says everything about you, and their behaviour says enough about them

I don’t know if this is helpful or not with the whole JKR situation, but I found this to be a very good video on what happens when our “heroes” or “idols” let us down. The creator made it when the allegations about Bill Cosby came out in full force. Yes, it’s an MLP creator, but he’s talking about an episode of a show called Bravestarr, not MLP, and overall I found it a very useful tool for helping with this kind of thing, so putting it out there.

You know the time when your person is in a foreign county (in the evening) ... texts you he will call you soon and forgets?

Yeah, me neither.

Inspiration|Truth about Disappointments

At some point in life you will feel that everyone has let you down,but the truth is disappointments are lessons for us. Being let down is not a lesson for us to build hatred for the people who let us down but a simple lesson to build our confidence and move forward. Keep praying and keep pushing!- LK

I like this song. Not the person it was dedicated to but the raw emotion Selena displays in it. You got me sippin' on something I can't compare to nothing I've ever known, I'm hoping That after this fever I'll survive I know I'm acting a bit crazy Strung out, a little bit hazy Hand over heart, I'm praying That I'm gonna make it out alive The bed's getting cold and you're not here The future that we hold is so unclear But I'm not alive until you call And I'll bet the odds against it all Save your advice 'cause I won't hear You might be right but I don't care There's a million reasons why I should give you up But the heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants You got me scattered in pieces Shining like stars and screaming Lighting me up like Venus But then you disappear and make me wait And every second's like torture Heroin drip, no more so Finding a way to let go Baby, baby, no, I can't escape The bed's getting cold and you're not here The future that we hold is so unclear But I'm not alive until you call And I'll bet the odds against it all Save your advice 'cause I won't hear You might be right but I don't care There's a million reasons why I should give you up But the heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants This is a modern fairytale No happy endings No wind in our sails But I can't imagine a life without Breathless moments Breaking me down, down, down, down The bed's getting cold and you're not here The future that we hold is so unclear But I'm not alive until you call And I'll bet the odds against it all Save your advice 'cause I won't hear You might be right but I don't care There's a million reasons why I should give you up But the heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants The heart wants what it wants, baby It wants what it wants, baby It wants what it wants It wants what it wants
