As bad as I don’t want to say it…

I. Have. Been. Emotionally. Traumatized.

My parents, my siblings, my family, my friends, my relationships have all traumatized me.

Being traumatized, especially emotionally, is so normal to me.

Knowing that I’m scared to stick up for myself because I don’t want to hurt my own feelings.

Not even realizing that I actually am hurting my own feelings by NOT sticking up for myself.

There have been times where I was hurt; Mentally, Physically, Emotionally and Verbally.

And instead of telling people how I felt, I let it slide and it just kept happening to me.

I came to understand that I am better than that.

No one can take from me anymore.

I am no longer trying to pour from an empty glass.

I refuse.

I am willing to accept the changes that are going to be made in my life going forward.

I am getting so much better at protecting myself, protecting my space, protecting my sanity.

I had to start somewhere, and I did that.

I want everyone to take something special from this message.

Stop allowing people to treat you any kind of way.

Let people know what you are going to allow and what you aren’t going to allow.

Mean it and stay with it.

If they love you and really care for you, they will stay in every boundary you set.

Believe that there are people who will show you that they love you.

They will protect you and love you NO MATTER the cost.

Love yourself.

At your finest.

At your lowest.
