Damaged girls come out the strongest.
They come out with edges that arent smooth.
But they have a sensitivity that is unlike anything else.
God & Man
They are the ones who have had experiences that have shaped them.
At a time when maybe someone elses control dictated her life.
Control of her life.
God & Man
Control of her mind.
Everything werent hers to choose but rather answering to someone to made her feel powerless.
Someone who needed to control her to feel their own sense of worth.
Someone who needed to break her down to build themselves back up.
Thats how girls become damaged.
When their main purpose is there to service another.
It was there she learned about trust but learned she could only trust herself.
It was there she learned even the worst situations she was capable of overcoming.
A girl who is damaged is one who has survived.
One who has chosen to keep going despite being given every reason not to.
But despite overcoming something that caused pain it doesnt go away.
She lives with her experiences she regrets and takes full responsibility even if the blame isnt hers to bear.
Even if something happened that wasnt her fault, she takes ownership of it.
She hangs onto it not letting it go, even if it haunts her to cling to.
She feels she deserves to live with the weight of things that arent hers to carry.
And it isnt until someone comes along and teaches everything shes been through wasnt her fault.
She didnt deserve it.
She doesnt need to keep holding on.
But she too fears to let someone that close.
She fears to let someone in.
She fears vulnerability because she was taught that is a sign of weakness.
Her walls are built to protect her but it also keeps people out.
She thinks shes better off alone.
She thinks its better this way.
She thinks no one will understand her damage.And she doesnt want pity.
She doesnt want people feeling bad.
Haunting her in a way.
The reminder she will never be fixed or be whole.
You arent trying to change her.
You accept her for all she is.
And itll take time and patience but shell learn to accept herself too.
When you love a girl who is damaged you are accepting her flaws and all.
You are accepting her on her worst day and on her best.
You are loving her in the moments she breaks down because things in the past still haunt her.
You are the arms that will hold her at her weakest.
You are the strength on the worst days.
Its teaching her she doesnt need to be fixed or changed.
She just has to accept herself and her past which comes as the greatest challenge.
