“Sometimes I feel like this bond we used to share, this almost-love, is the elephant in the room. Other times, I wonder if you forgot. If I didn’t hold those days so clearly in my memory, I might think I made it up.”
fun fact. it literally doesn’t matter if your trauma “wasn’t THAT bad” compared to other peoples. its still trauma and it will affect you the same way. it doesn’t matter how “bad” it was, its something you went through and are continuing to live with the aftermath of, and, no matter what, everything you feel is completely justified.
