Finding real love after being surrounded by abuse will remind you of what it feels like to be comfortable.
You wont be constantly walking on eggshells and waiting for the next time your abuser blows up at you.
You have had it drilled into your head and your heart that there cannot be love without pain.
Jose Escobar
Someone has made you believe that you will never be deserving of a love that does not hurt you.
Once someone shatters your self-worth, you truly start to feel like your life is over.
You let yourself fall in love again because there is someone out there who wants to love you right.
You fall in love again because you are finally learning that all love will not hurt you.
Hurt does not have to be synonymous with love.
Love with the right person will be beautiful, and it will be meaningful.
There will be more to your relationship than just control.
Real love will want to compromise with you, not constrain you.
For the first time in a long time, you will feel heard.
Abusers force you to live how they want you to so they can get what they want from you.
Finding real love after being surrounded by abuse will remind you of what it feels like to be comfortable.
You wont be constantly walking on eggshells and waiting for the next time your abuser blows up at you.
You wont just be there for someone elses use anymore.
You will love and be loved in return, like you always should have been.
They will understand your anxiety and why your bed doesnt really feel like it is yours anymore.
They will not only say the right things, but they willmeanthem.
They will always be there to support you every step of the way.
But this time, you wont have to.
An argument with someone you love is a discussion.
It will begin, and it will end, and neither of you will come out of it destroyed.
You will not be belittled or shamed.
You will not be ghosted or left on read.
You will be heard.
You will be understood.
You will be loved.
yo do not be afraid to let this love in.
It is out there waiting for you.
