Being strong is when you can admit what you’re doing.
When the knives are found in the kitchen and not in your bedroom.
Strong is when you stop covering it up with your sleeves.
Courage is when you admit your slowly dying inside. Literately.
When food goes down your throat, not your toothbrush.
Courage is believing you can change.
Pain is something that hurts you.
Pain is anything that hurts you.
Pain is everything that hurts you.
Give yourself credit for trying.
Give yourself a break.
Give yourself love.
Don’t ignore it.
Don’t suppress it.
Don’t Downplaying it.
This is real life.
This is a real problem.
This is real pain.
I’m hopeless.
I’m awful.
I’m ugly.
Lies
Lies
Lies.
I’m strong.
I’m courageous.
I’m real.
I can make it.
You can make it.
We will make it.
By Anna Priore.
