There's a very particular feeling i don't know if anyone has ever felt.
Vulnerability.
Not in the sense of being vulnerable to a partner in love, but being vulnerable in an abusive situation.
Growing up, i was physically and sexually abused by my father. I grew up from a naive child to a closed off young adult.
It really affected my abilty to connect with other people and form relationships. It crippled me mentally and emotionally, as well as socially.
I was hardened and closed off to most people, often times hostile because i feared being hurt again.
Being vulnerable.
Feeling like there is a shadow hanging over you, that no matter what you do, how much you fight, it will still have influence over you.
But that's not true.
I know damn near nobody will see this, but if anyone does (and if they're in an awful situation much like i was in) i would like to impart a message that helped me through dark times;
Don't let them break you. No matter what they throw at you, no matter how far they push you, never stoop to their level. Stand unshaken, fight like hell, pray to your chosen diety, it doesn't matter how you do it, just don't let yourself become one of them.
Don't let them turn you into something you'd hate to become.
But also don't let it kill you. Literally and metaphorically. Don't let them take the innocent boy or girl or whatever that was there and turn them into a husk.
Does any of this have to do with art? Not really, though a vent art piece did start this train of thought. And it's 2.am here in Los Angeles, so i have no one but the crackheads to serenade with this song of trauma (lol).
If you're goin through something, don't be afraid to reach out to someone you can trust. Someone who can help you.
Hell, I'm no therapist, but I've been around the block a bit when it comes to childhood trauma and PTSD. so if you're so inclined, let's talk. Maybe i could help you out. Or if you just need to vent, i still gots both mah ears, theyr'e fit as a goddarn fiddle (southerly spits into spitoon)
Much love from the darkness
