One thing no one tells you about handling rape is how quick it is to become a stranger in a place that used to be home. That an invasion could tamper with your mind and you never really know how to feel at home 'cause you feel unsafe. . . that sometimes you feel trapped; like a hostage and you're doing your best to survive but you don't know if your best is good enough!. . . what is worse is that you get used to being invaded without fighting back because your home has become unrecognizable to you and all that's left are ruins and war zones. So everyday you wake up in a body and a mind having a long distance relationship! The distance don't work for you but it's the best you could afford even though you become one step detached daily. . .still, your mind is trying to make it work! . . . and what do you say to yourself to not give up? "Don't be mad at yourself for the places you have been trying to fall in love with your body, one day, distance won't be an enemy, it'll be how you learn to place value on this body! You'll make a new home outta the ruins and you'll feel safe in every corner of it! Cos sometimes, separation is how you learn to value each other. . . a little break is how you realise the need for togetherness. When it fails again, give it another chance! Never run outta chances when it comes to loving you to wholeness.❤ . . .©Ibukunwrites _________ #wecarrythesky (this book is an immersion with so much light💕) . . . #MckaylaRobbin
