My struggles.

It’s a foolish thing to be embarrassed by.

I can’t help my history. I can’t help that I was abused. I can’t help that I was taught, with cruel words and crueler fists, that I am Wrong, that I am unworthy, that I don’t deserve affection or nice things.

I struggle daily with self sabotage. I dissociate and freeze when I’m challenged.

And I know I’m getting better, ever so slowly.

It’s still hard.
