“Sometimes it takes years before we realize how much a person we’ve lost really meant to us but in those moments it no longer matters anymore. We’ve grieved, we’ve moved on, and we’ve learned. Life has this way of protecting us from such realizations early on for us to be able to heal from the damage properly.”
it’s so disturbing to think back and realize the stuff you allowed people to do to you simply because you didn’t respect yourself enough to not let it happen
