Secret

By Uglytruthis

I do not believe I have ever put this secret into a full sentence before. My father raped me…for years. Until we moved away at the age of 19. I can not go into more detail because most of the memories have fadded away with the parts of me that ran away.

It left a little broken soul…

Who quit living life

In a dream like state

Trying to fill the empty

The numb

A good friend told me it helps to be thankful. Today I am thankful for:

1) My cat- he has been there for me since the age of four, and was the best thing that ever happened in life. He is the only living thing I could say I have truly loved. Time spent with him curled up in my lap melts my heart… Yes I am a crazy cat lady :3

2) Art/writing/photography/- It has been an outlet to turn to instead of insanity. It helps to sort through thoughts and make sence of things that are buried deep inside.

3) Nature- getting fresh air and focusing on the beauty around helps keep things in perspective

4) Music- It says the things I can not always say and soothes the soul

Good goals to reach for

  • Pursue running and dancing as a hobby
  • Go to art school because the thought of getting a normal degree is just depressing
  • Try to be more positive and honest
  • Stop trying to please everyone
  • Attain to forgive
  • Not be so harsh to others/self
  • Try new things
  • Move out on my own
  • Take responsibility for life
  • Possibly try to find a therapist
  • Stop obsessing about negative things

What are you thankful for? Do you have goals set for yourself?

Stay strong <3 you are not alone
