Abuse doesn’t make you ‘tough’, it makes it so when someone hurts you, you get a massive flashback to every time anyone has ever hurt you, you have to remove yourself from the situation to get a massive breakdown, you don’t get to react properly because you’re overwhelmed and unsure what’s real, and at the end of the day you’re filled with doubt over whether you feelings are all wrong and what amount of upset you’re allowed to be and you just sit there devastated asking yourself what is wrong with you and why can’t you be normal
"Fight for the things that you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you."
-Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020)
Thank you for fighting so hard and for so long. Your legacy will live on and you will be remembered for the amazing work you've done to better our nation.

I wish I had a someone who would observe me silently, who would capture all my habits and quirks, and still love me. Someone that would get lost in how my fine features define my face, while smiling or crying, and still love me.
