Rikki Poynter | Why Child Abuse Survivors May Not Want To Do Things By Themselves @rikkipoynter | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
It’s just so odd to me that people left quite a few comments yelling about the fact that I could’ve just gone by myself and that I shouldn’t be crying (happily? lol) about it after all of these years because I decided to wait, etc. If my date wanted to go too and was happy to take me and come with me, then what’s it to you? If some of my new friends also wanted to take me and may do so eventually, then what’s it to you? I’ve been mostly alone my entire life.

And when the person that I’m dating said, “Let’s go to a pumpkin patch!” Yeah, I was gonna take it because the pumpkin patch is so much more fun when you have people. And now I have people in my life, so…
