Anonymous asked: thx for your response. It makes me really relieved to hear that you hadn't actually said that everyone needs to forgive abusers/think that they will change, that it was just triggerbrain saying that you had b/c of jumping to the worse-case scenario to prepare for it. i look up to you in terms of your ability to write difficult things & really value stuff you've said about bodily imperfection, living with pain, 'is it worth it to keep living like this', and the fault in our stars. thank you :)

I’m glad it’s a relief.  I have a habit of saying things that sound like they could mean something really bad, but actually mean something slightly (or entirely) different.  I’m not sure why.  Thank you for the compliments. <3
