“Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive."#lively#ouch
We so often victim blame ourselves, because we desperately want to believe there was something we could have done to avoid or control what happened to us.
Thing is: getting cruel w/ ourselves doesn't change the fact that we can't "make" someone abuse or neglect us.
