On-screen text

I never got to heal, I just kept moving. I had to, no one has ever come to save me, I had to do it myself. My trauma lives in my DNA. It has settled into the deepest depths of my being. It is the only constant in my life. I don't reach out, because I am a lot I dump pieces of my demons on people. I'm afraid to truly tell anyone what I've seen, experienced, and deal with on a daily basis. And I truly do not know of I will ever live a truly happy life. I'm usually too afraid to leave the house. I have to believe this will not be my forever
