Either accept it or run from it

No matter what I really do somehow it’ll creep in. I’ve gotten better over the years accepting whats happened to me and being gentle to myself and loving myself. Though talking about it to people close to me burns. It’s like if someone branded me and everyone can see.

But the people that hurt me can’t hurt me anymore. I’ll keep moving forwards and pushing this anxiety back. I can’t afford to let it gain ground on me again.
