He said he’d kill me

“When I was 15, I was walking home from the bus stop about 5 blocks away from my house when an older man on a bike stopped me. He grabbed my arm and started going on about how he didn’t like me out about, and that if he sees me again, he will kill me.

He then kissed my hand and let it go. I ran to the closest house I knew and had someone drive me the rest of the way home.” — keevat

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
