You’re human. Be human.

We need to be careful with subscribing to a victim mindset.

Any form of abuse leaves emotional scars.

But that doesn’t mean it breaks us.

Nor does it mean that it’s impossible to heal from it.

Don’t believe everything you read.

No human is broken.

And every mind can be healed.

When we convince ourselves that we’re broken or that we can’t be healed, we create a self fulfilling prophecy, because what you set out to achieve is what you will achieve.

Besides, it’s not the physical pain of physical abuse that sticks with us, it’s the mental and emotional anguish that it leaves that haunts us.

Memes like the one above are well meaning, but they cause more harm to our mental health than they offer benefit or relief.

Be careful what you take from the Internet.

Good intentions have destroyed many lives.

No matter how elaborate and sincere your effort at solving a problem may be, if you don’t understand the problem well enough, you will go about solving the wrong problem until you eventually convince yourself that the real problem cannot be solved.

There is a solution for every problem except death. So if you’re not figuring it out, it means that you need more information and a fresh perspective of what you’re dealing with.

Remember: No one is broken. No one is damaged. No one is beyond help. It takes a single moment of realisation to turn your entire world around.
