I'm sorry all of that happened

But I am seriously glad you broke the cycle, it takes a lot to change old habits and to break cycles but you did it

Instead of hate, henceforth I will now say "don't like" instead

Keep on being intergalactic, Sketch

A little concerned though I may be I am very glad and proud of you!

When I was about 16 or so I was in a bad way, hating the world, hating myself even..

Living with hate really is no way to live at all. Life is amazing when we learn to be kind to ourselves and others and to see and appreciate how beautiful everything can be. 

You’re a good kid!

You’ll be put to the test. I think that’s just the nature of life, but the world is better for every loving and caring person in it.

Oh, Sketch!  I think I understand you a way better than I would like...

The moment when you took control of your life and definitely who you want to be by yourself I see as a strong point of personal growth!

Yeah, I proud of you, lil sis.  

P.S. talking about inanimate objects. I just want to warn you about certain downside of such attitude. Long time I was feeling guilty in front of old stuff I had to get rid off. Especially toys. (Damn you, the Toy Story! ) So I was tending to hoard stuff a bit moar than it would be healthy.  (I'm still trying to give away and recycle as much junk as possible)

Aw, thank you so much! You're so right and I hope that maybe one day, the world can be just a bit brighter.

Oh my gosh, thank you! I'm glad I changed, otherwise, I wouldn't be here today. As for the inanimate objects thing, I do love them, but I always remember to let go. It's important to have the ability to let go. Holding on when you know you have to say goodbye will only hold you back. Thank you for this. 

If what I am reading is truly real, then congratulations. You've gone from friend to hero in my eyes. It took a lot of character strength to over come that way. I think you will break the cycle. And if you keep it up, even if you should stumble a few times, you'll come out a better and happier person for it.

I am sorry to hear your mother is so terrible. I feel she probably tears you down to make herself feel better; probably because she thinks you are an easy target. What she doesn't know is how badly that has hurt you. Making others feel bad to make yourself feel good only works in the short term; it will never give you long term happiness nor spiritual fulfillment. It's really sad. The whole point of being a parent is to love unconditionally, to always support and be there for your kid. Sounds like this mother has really failed you. I really do hope she sees the error of her ways, but if not, I'll be cheering for you and counting the days when you can leave home and live on your own.

Even when that happens, there will be bad days and sad days. There may even be days where you feel hatred. It's normal for anyone to have those feelings; it's what you do with those feelings that matters most. As long as you are dedicated to seeing the beauty in this world, as long as you choose to overcome instead of giving in to these negative feelings, you'll be way better off for it.  And also, if you ever need a therapist to talk to or a support network to lean on, there is nothing wrong with that. We all need help sometimes. Doesn't make us weak or helpless; it just gives us the tools to be the best we can be. Teamwork makes the dream work; and everybody needs somebody sometimes. Just know that when you're here, you're surrounded by friends who are cheering you on and wishing the absolute best for you. You matter. Your happiness matters. Don't ever let anyone take that away or tell you otherwise. Just because they can't see it doesn't mean you don't have value. We all have value.

You are an inspiration. 

I said this before but I'll repeat. I think it's terrible how such a young, innocent and pure soul had to go through this. Not getting love from the own mother during the most important part of your life, the childhood. 

But i admire a lot how you could be stronger than it, there was even physical abuse, but you could overcome it. I don't even know what to say honestly, I just know that, you're very strong, for having such determination, still being alive and always sharing a lot of positivity here.

There a lot of mysteries in life, for me how you managed to overcome it is one of them. Maybe it's a surprise for me only, but it doesn't matter, that still shows how strong you are.

I think you did something similar to what I did, but in the reverse. I don't treat anyone badly, but I feel that nowadays I am similar to how you were before, while in childhood I was like how you are today. I am very happy that you could change that, my friend. Hope you continue being this lovely and sharing this positivity. Hope you have a beautiful future ~☆

 Oh, Samurai, thank you so much. She..does bring me down a lot, and claims to be my "biggest cheerleader". I've decided to cheer myself on (with the help of incredible friends (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)). No, she hasn't been the best mother to me nor any of my siblings. As one of my friends said, she's showing us what *not* to do in life. I think my mother is..trying to do better, but she's stuck in her ways. There's no reason to apologize for it, that's just how she was raised and how she decided to live. I've always wished she was nicer, especially since my sister would still live with us then. I greatly appreciate the support here and all of the kind words! I will remember this 

I'm no hero, I'm just s regular person. I'm just being me. c:

Thank you, truly. It's really alright that I wasn't treated the best. I'm just glad that I responded the way I did to it. Who knows where and who I'd be if the cycle continued..I thank you again for writing this and I hope you have a beautiful future.
