Invalid.

I am done being called crazy.


Finished.


Terminated.


Concluded.


I am done with being told that my feelings are unjust, and invalidated, by being told I am crazy.


I am cancelling the idea of being told I am irrational.


I am over being called nuts.


Fucking crazy.


I am done, you know why?


Because I am not.


I am in fact, totally sane.


I just need to keep reminding myself. I can't let myself forget, my feelings, emotions and thoughts are valid, not demented and psychotic


I am finished with the 'whatevers', totally over the 'you have no clue what you are talking abouts.'


I am exhausted with the dismissals, and hearing I am overreacting.


I am done being minimized, and being told to let it go.


I have had enough eye rolls and exasperated sighs to last a lifetime.


My feelings matter. My emotions are valid. I am speaking my truth. I am not unhinged.


What I have come to realize is that, I am just saying things that don't want to be heard.


I am confronting a wrong that doesn't want to be acknowledged.


I am speaking a truth that wants to be unsung.


I am confronting a wrong that doesn't want to be rectified.


And in turn I am being told I am not right. I am crazy.


But I am not.


What I have been subjected to is traumatic invalidation.


I will be heard.


Xoxo,

C.

You didn't lose me when you actually left. You lost, and left me, well before that. Not sure you were ever there to begin with truth be told. That said... You lost me in your lies. You lost me in your

 
 
 
Public speaking.

As a former teacher, and a person who loves the spot light, wink wink, aka hell no; I am awful at public speaking; especially if it includes an emotional matter. So yeah, the irony, insert a sigh. Yes
