From One Survivor to Another

“Maybe we hide this secret because we have never had intimate relationships or friendships that show us how safe and loving people can be. There are some of us who have never had that luxury, not even once. And even those of us who have been lucky enough to have a couple of very close, loving people in our worlds— we still live our lives in disbelief, in denial and shock that we could ever be loved, truly and deeply. We go around fearful that it’s all one big lie— that those people who love us are just faking it out of pity. We think that the one good person in our lives is a fluke or an outlier, not an indicator of a general trend in humans as kind and caring beings.”

Been feeling this a lot lately; complete disbelief at the existence of decent— no, truly good— people in my life.

Long post? Try submitting your question instead.

I'm Elle, and I am the person behind More Reasons You Shouldn’t Fuck Kids, a blog on my experience as a survivor of sexual abuse.

I am a Transgender, Lesbian, Taiwanese American, disabled, Appalachian, no-wave Feminist, and eating-disordered poet from Berea, KY. My life has been a big mess, and that’s okay.

Pronoun preference: she, her.
