it’s unfair how i have the responsibility to heal myself when i didn’t cause my wound in the first place

THE ERAS TOUR ✧･ﾟ: *✧

TAYLOR SWIFT @ The “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour” performs on stage at State Farm Stadium on March 17, 2023 in Swift City, ERAzona (Glendale, Arizona).  

After you leave a toxic or abusive environment, a lot of normal things are going to feel weird, and just plainly awful at the beginning. Buying that thing you've always wanted can make you feel guilty for spending money on yourself. Resting can feel a lot more like being lazy. Safety and happiness can feel so temporary, almost like you are just waiting for life to get bad again.

It's normal, it's part of the process. You will get used to be at peace. To feel joy. To be safe. I know you will<3
