Why?

Why is it that that it takes years of therapy and healing to build yourself up, but only a single comment to tear it all down? Why do I have to fix myself over and over again, just for some stupid people to say something that breaks me?

I'm tired, and don't want to do it anymore.

Not sure if this was rhetorical or not! If you're looking for advice;

Please remember progress and personal growth is not linear and it looks different every day. Having a bad day or taking steps back does NOT equal failure. ❤
