My view of life as a previously abused teenage girl

Bravery

Facing the demons you have that threaten to come out and the pain they bring to defeat them - no matter how hard.

Love

Caring about someone despite everything you don't love, and seeing through their demons to look at the person you care about, even if it's scary.

Pain

When your chest tightens up and tears pour down your face because you're alone and terrified, and anger at the fact you were made to feel like that.

Ambivalence

All the feelings that don't make sense combined into one confusing knot in your chest.
