@redruby1999: You don't have to show everyone your broken places, but you shouldn’t have to pretend they don’t exist. I don’t hide my broken places because I’m ashamed of them. I protect them because I’ve learned that not everyone who finds a wound wants to help it heal. Some people just want to know where to hurt me next. But they will never get to decide who I become. #LearningToGrow #StrengthAndWeakness #HealingJourney #SelfProtection #Resilience
