“And you know what?
I deserve to be treated like I matter.
Because I do.”
Maybe it’s naïvety to trust someone who should be a friend. Maybe it’s just the good parts of me hoping that there is good in others. That maybe, I am not a means to an end. Something to be used, rather than cherished for who I am. But, I think that’s what sets me apart from those who take advantage of others. I lived through hell. And rather than spreading my pain around, I choose to be light. Good. I choose to rise above and beyond better. And you know what? I deserve to be treated like I matter. Because I do.

bullied, or otherwise hurt.
Monsters and survivors
are mutually exclusive.
I survived hell.
I can certainly survive you.
Hello dear Sarah. I enjoyed your work today. I hope you are doing well and staying safe.
