As an abuse survivor I know how it feels to not trust the world. I too (although not as bad as her) used to put my guard up towards everysingle person that showed me kindness. I thought there was no such thing as kindness without a price. I never receive gifts, favors from others without equivalent exchange. I eventually learned unconditional love from my friends even though it took literal years, they were patient with me.
Seeing her learning how to trust, having the courage to try and trust someone again, to try and recieve kindness... it just felt so well written. Idk why other people complained that this is boring, I genuinely loved this.
It's a very very well written story from an an abuse survivor's POV and I loved every single detail of this 10/10
My love language is annoying the shit out of them and them to me too.
I miss staying in the same house as them cuz my sister would jump onto my bed while I'm sleeping while knowing the weight would wake me up dead. And my brother would come into my room to flick the lights on and off over and over again till I get pissed off
