✨️Gentle Reminder✨️

Even if an abuser or someone who's hurt you is trying to do better or changing for the better, doesn't mean you're obligated to forgive them. At the end of the day, as a victim, you get to decide how you wish to live out your life, no one else. You should never have to settle.

Pain doesn't go away. It scars. Sometimes it heals, sometimes it reopens.

I'm thinking a lil about tsams as I write this, but this applies to any fandom, to real life! If it's in your power to do so, do what's best for you, so that you don't feel anymore hurt.

I won't lie though, I know it'll be hard. Sometimes leaving could be hard, dangerous even. It could even be unfair. It all depends on which path do you think will hurt less, and if possible, able to get as much help as possible. Life isn't fair, so sometimes, it's up to us to make it fair, to leave the pain behind and begin a better life. We don't deserve it. Nobody does.
