reminder to the people who need reminding: joking about abuse is not funny. i had a friend recently tell me a long story about how his girlfriend abused him only for me to find out it was an elaborate joke to him that did not happen. that really upset me, because it takes away from valid experiences and domestic abuse is extremely serious.
i find the bright side more often than i expect to, find moments that make life worthwhile. but still i can’t remember the last time i felt truly whole or content for longer than a few days. there are people and things i miss i can never return to. there are parts of myself i have outgrown. i feel stranded in many ways. i know this is temporary. i just don’t know how long it will be.
weird seeing my friends partying at college and i’m sitting in a rental hospital bed in my living room with three broken leg bones and some cheese and crackers… we all have different paths
