May Sarton, "Of Grief", Selected Poems
But I do think part of healing from trauma means sometimes giving people the chance to treat you right. And no, I'm not talking about forgiving your abusers. Or giving random people endless chances to hurt you. But sometimes you gotta fight that voice that says everyone just wants to harm you and give someone a chance to get close enough to actually prove it wrong.
— Antonio Porchia, from “Voices.”

if i was a star and you were a star i would wink at you and blink at you and twinkle at you and the earthlings would call it science.
what more can be said? i love you, i love you, i love you
Being slow in life is fine. Taking longer to figure life out than others is not a bad thing. Lots of super successful people were late bloomers, who knows what amazing things you could accomplish once you heal more.

In a situation right now. Excited for The passing of time to take me out of it.
