It's been 7 months since I started my journey. Self discovery and growth are hard. What's harder is learning to trust again, and what's harder than that is unlearning all of the pain you taught me to think that love is. I meet people, and i enjoy people, but now i always have in the back of my mind the pain that I endured. I don't want to settle into a life like that ever again. I don't want to make myself feel so small for another person again.
I didn't grow up with the proper view of love. My mom makes herself small because my dad doesn't allow for anyone to be big. That's just not the type of love someone like me should see.
I read about real love in books, and i watch it in movies and shows. Yet somehow I can't unlearn. Trauma.
