Evagria13

13 years

i spent thirteen years of my life with someone who didn’t know my worth.

clearly. I didn’t either.

i didn't share my life. I lived through it. I survived it.

it wasn’t physical pain or overt. But it was manipulative and tactical. Snide comments, rude and condescending.

Walking on eggshells or having buttons pushed so I felt and acted crazy.

being removed from the catalyst and relearning how to trust has revealed that initial brush was not love in any sense.

far removed i can now clearly see how true caring never seeks to cut you down or belittle you. Rather it sparks joy and burns bright in your smile.

I found myself again and never forget my worth when it is called into question by my past. The future is brighter than I ever thought possible. Brought to me by an unlikely flame. Steady. And. Sure.

That moment when you realize that YOU were the red flags.

Cute ones. But fluttering red flags nonetheless.

Evagria13

That moment when the facade begins to slip.

A knick in the armor.

That moment when true colors are revealed.

When the arrogance begins to seep out and cloud judgement

The veneer cracks

A darkness persists to prevail.

There is no stopping it now.

No matter what you think Or do or feel. You can never change someone. Ever.

There aren’t words really the capture the vast difference of the love I feel for you. Not forced or fake or false. Rather, honest and humble, and safe.

That moment when you are listening to your ex Husband lament about the 1500 things he's experiencing with the new and soon to be new ex wife. Only to really hear him describe the 1500 things that have made you the strongest and best version of yourself today.

How can someone be so blind to their own turmoil even 6 years later? I don’t wish anyone pain. But I how that shit stings like a motherfucker.

things cast a direct light when you’ve put your own pieces back together.

A title does not equate to intellect.

I’ve shared good days with good people.

But you make every day great.

I see photographs of myself during that time.

My smile is bright.

but my eyes betray the truth
