Happiness is a dream we all deserve....

While talking to the girl whom i was talking to last night, I shall call her Laura for safety sake the situation she is in with an abusive living arrangement... she continues to tell me that she deserves to be beaten and raped, whenever she is at home and not at work...

Me: I know. it's an awful feeling to know that i can't do much more for you than talk to you.
Laura: It ok I'm use to it now I have been getting beat and raped since I was 3 years old I deserve this

Me:

...no you don't. that's me saying I deserved being raped when I was six, and that it was my fault this 40 year old man would sneak into my room at night while my mother slept, and I had to protect my three year old sister from him...

We didn't deserve it then, we don't deserve it now. We are worth so much more Laura. We deserve to be happy, and to be loved unconditionally. We deserve to have peace, and to wake up in the morning with a smile on our face, not fear in our hearts. We deserve to be able to go to bed and expect nothing but good dreams...

We deserve a happy, uncomplicated life... We deserve this, YOU deserve this...

Now talking to her has made me think of a lot of things for myself. which i am happy that i have come as far as i have. I an proud of the person I am becoming. And proud at the amount of happiness I bring to just myself alone...
