Every Word You Cannot Say by Iain S. Thomas
4.0
this felt like therapy. i felt seen. i felt like i wasn’t alone.
live react:
”I feel like I’m the only one who feels the things I feel, or thinks the way I think.
I’m worried that I’m taking everything too seriously, or not seriously enough.
Sometimes I want you to see me, and sometimes I want to disappear.”
”I know that you get ink on your fingers and don’t know when it’ll come off.
I know strangers can stain your heart in the same way.”
”Forgive yourself for being you— you have done nothing wrong and tomorrow is another chance.”
”Why do we hurt ourselves more, when other people hurt us?
Why do we beat ourselves up, for feeling beat up?
It’s easy to get stuck in a kind of loop of pain.
You’re hurt, so you hurt yourself some more.
But the correct response to pain, is self-love.”
