I am small.

So are stars from a distance. It's all a matter of perspective.

It is strange... the reasons one feels he doesn't deserve things.

Don't try to be brave all at once. Take it in steps.

Don't judge yourself by what others did to you.

Memories demand attention, and these memories will have teeth.

I let go of false hope. I let go of the hope that they would transform in favour of working on my own transformation. I let go of the hope that they would HEAR me. I let go of the hope that they would SEE me. Instead of my hope being in THEM, I listened to me. I heard me, I saw me, I validated my own pain and I began to emerge from the broken life I had been living.
