Its Holding Me Back

I went threw abuse as a child I didnt grow up in the best environment. I have painful memories that haunt me and have flashbacks about. It still effects me today I hate that Im letting it get too me so much. I dont ever wanna talk about it with anyone I feel like noone will understand. I wish I could just get over it. I have to face facts it happened its over theres nothing I can do about it. Leave the past behind me only to look forward now. I did get some good out of my hell though. I know it may sound hard to believe but I think I did. I learned never to be like the people who hurt me and I even have a story too tell. Abuse left me confused, depressed and hurt. But the most depressed quiet people have the most stories to tell!
