Victim VS Survivor

Everyone had a past, everyone has scars, everyone have stories that made them who they are. Some of us have baggage that will mean a life long struggle and some of us have learned to declutter our lives and leave that baggage behind.
Because I WAS a victim. For most of my life I was abused. In multiple ways by multiple people in multiple degrees. I didn't live through the worst case scenario but that doesn't make my past any less real. I felt what I felt, it was what it was and I'm at peace with the damage that was done. That's where you have failed. You claim I always play the victim yet I'm the one that identifies toxic behaviors and relationships and rids myself of them. I save myself from more damage. You wallow in it.
You beg the world for sympathy by putting on a false facade and parading around claiming to be strong and unscathed while putting others down. You find faults in others happiness. You try to maintain control out of fear. And the second someone calls you on your shit you try to break them. You are damaged, you are a victim, you have not yet become a survivor. Let it go.
