"Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee and just as hard to sleep after."
― Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the SeaWhy do we still use terms like 'consensual' sex' when, really, it's just either sex or its rape. Sex takes a consent of two, married or not. If one person doesn't want to do it and another is having sex with the body it's not love it its rape.
We need to start having better conversations to understand what's okay and what is not, because if we don't kids will do something thinking it's okay, when it's not.

"The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again."
― Charles Dickens, Nicholas Nickleby
Nothing last forever, but somethings do, like a good song, or a good book or a memory, or a friend, you may have gone through a lot with them, but they may have to go far away or you may have to go far away from them, and it's okay, that's life kiddo, to live you need problems, if you get everything you want the minute you want it, what the point of living? It may sound stupid, but after overcoming the problems you are happy because you have understood their value.

"You don't know what goes on in anyone's life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person's life, you're not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can't be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person's life, you're messing with their entire life."
― Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons WhySome incidents change your view of your life and yourself. It shatters your most basic assumptions about yourself and your world, "People are kind," "I can trust others," and replaces them with feelings like "The world is dangerous,", "I can't trust other people,". The best way to help someone who has gone through something bad, is to reveal them the greatest version of themselves, the self which they were too afraid to reveal. And, if you are diagnosed with PDST, it isn't a sign of weakness, rather it's a proof of strengths because you have survived, you can do this.

"Just because someone desires you, it does not mean that they value you.

"If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people."
