Don't trust people 100%. People change, or maybe they weren't who you thought they were all along.
If someone hurts you, don't just lie there and take it. Don't be a doormat. Speak your mind and fight back.
Love should be unconditional. If you feel forced to give things to someone in return for their love, ask yourself why.
Don't stay quiet. Even if you think you deserve to be hurt, you might not be the only one being hurt by that someone or something. You could save a life.
Think you know everything? You don't. You never do.
Your past never truly goes away. It's always going to be some part of you. Try to erase it, and it'll come back to haunt you.
If you are in a bad mindset, don't hang out around other people with the same mindset. You might think it helps, but it just reinforces those ideas.
Just because something makes you happy doesn't mean it's good for you.
Learn to love yourself, or you'll be desperate and vulnerable.
Apologies don't matter if you do the same thing again and again.
Bad thoughts are just that -- thoughts. Don't focus on them and don't let them control you.
Severity is subjective. Nobody's situation is "worse" than another person's.

Just some harsh truths I've had to learn the hard way from multiple people over the years. After being harassed, silenced, violated, choked and beaten, lied to, blackmailed, humiliated, and manipulated, I've turned into a different person than I was years ago. A big "screw you" to the (multiple) people that have done this to me, but also a thank you, for making me stronger.

If anyone is ever going through a hard time, feel free to PM me. Even if I've been offline for days, I get notifications on my phone.

Bit of a random post, but I've been through the ringer in the past few days with various things, and I needed to write my thoughts down.
