Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

I have begun writing a book. Not a short story, not a blog post – a book. A novel. Something fictitious. And quite frankly, I’m terrified. A novel is longer than anything I’ve ever written and I so desperately want it to be good. But you know what has to be done before it can be good? It has to be written.

The Victim Mindset

DISCLAIMER: These are my thoughts and opinions to how trauma relates to me and my Life. If it doesn’t relate to you and your Life, write your own blog. Cheers.

I am not a blameless victim.

This is a politically-charged thing to write, so before I dig my grave, I need to say this: there are victims; there are survivors who are blameless. There are people who were unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time. There are people who suffered under the abuse of someone else, someone malicious and deliberately cruel. There are people who have suffered to no fault of their own.

I am not one of them.
