the neurodivergent obsession with trying to figure out why someone did what they did. replaying it. analyzing it. asking your friends. asking your therapist. asking your friends again. because your brain literally cannot accept that some people are just cruel for no reason.
you bloom where you are loved, and that is why you need to learn how to move on, to walk away from suffocating spaces where you can no longer stretch your limbs out. to live well, you have to learn how to leave.
Not all hurt people hurt people. Some spend their lives making sure no one else feels what they did. They break cycles, build safe spaces, and turn pain into purpose. Hurt people don't just hurt people, they heal people too.
