i'm so thankful for the fact that my boyfriend is understanding of the fact that i need more reassurance and affection than most people and that i often get scared that he'll leave me and i'm also proud of myself for handling everything so well because i'm assuring him that none of this is his fault and that i thank him for listening to me and i try to stay as calm as possible when i get anxious and i've improved so much compared to last year

shoutout to kids who had to grow up too fast because their parents never allowed them to be a kid
shoutout to kids who had to fend for themselves every day, or even little siblings
shoutout to kids who felt like the parent
shoutout to kids who cling hard to people because they never got the proper love and care that a parent should provide
shoutout to kids who have health issues because they were never taken care of, and it’s hard to recover from
shoutout to kids who felt abandoned and empty and like they had no childhood because their family wasn’t there
You’re all valid and I’m so sorry for what we’ve had to go through. It’s tough. And I hope we can all heal from it
