Because I was small and cold and hurt

[AlienGirl]

And nobody did anything.

Because I was worth nothing.

3. that's not true.

You are worth everything. It's just no one was there to tell you or help you then, and that's a shame.

If I had mattered somebody would have made it stop.

6. AG, what's going on?

Are you hurting?

[AlienGirl]

9. I am, I guess, "processing emotion"

I keep this thing at a safe distance most of the time by intellectualizing and naming its parts. Here is "nightmare" and there is "repetition compulsion" and that over there is "hyperalertness" next to "permanently fucked-up sense of humor."

But sometimes, it gets too close and hits me in the soft belly where I haven't yet built shielding.

10. Hey... I cannot tell you how many times I've been there, this year especially.

If you need to talk, drop me a PM, okay?

[Flaxbee]

7. I'm sorry

I don't mean to presume. Just wish you didn't / weren't hurting.

I hope I would do something, no, I would do something.
