At times, recovering feels even harder than survival. during the surviving, fractions were lived one at a time, while in the remembering, I am both who I was then and who I am now, and sometimes, everybody else in between.

Now, I am the child living through it, and I am the adult who knows better — an adult who could never do the unthinkable. And reliving it in all these simultaneous viewpoints is a heartbreak I can barely describe. It rips apart a soul in ways I wish I didn’t know.

Trying to heal yourself is not the same as trying to fix yourself.

Living beings are not objects, and so don't get broken or damaged. They become wounded or fall ill. You deserve healing because you deserve to be free of pain, not fixed so you can be of use.

You are not worth only as much as what you can do for others. You do not have value because you function. You have value because you exist in the world.

How does a nine-year-old learn to parent herself when those in her life are unable to do so? She figures it out, one way or another, because what choice does she have? Kids are resilient and imaginative, coming up with ways to make sense of what's happening around them; that's the upside. Alas, it's taken me years to realise there's a downside, too. The harmful lessons sometimes picked up in the process of practicing that resiliency can take a lifetime to exorcise.
