“Staying Strong When you acknowledge pain, you validate its impact on your life. There will be those who will try to disregard your hurt or downplay its intensity. Try as you may, you will never be able to make them understand how it affected you. How it severed your confidence. How it reshaped your thinking. How you spiraled downward into someone you couldn't recognize anymore. They will not understand how those hands held and hurt you until you were immobile and helpless to reach out. They wrongly believe that anxiety and depression are self-inflicted.” — Alfa Holden
Staying Strong
When you acknowledge pain, you validate its impact on your life.
There will be those who will try to disregard your hurt or downplay its intensity.
Try as you may, you will never be able to make them understand how it affected you.
How it severed your confidence.
How it reshaped your thinking.
How you spiraled downward into someone you couldn't recognize anymore.
They will not understand how those hands held and hurt you until you were immobile and helpless to reach out.
They wrongly believe that anxiety and depression are self-inflicted.
