Stop Blaming, Start Building: Evict Your Past From Your Shell

Children deserve unconditional love.

It’s not a child’s fault that their parents were abusive monsters, but it is 100% their responsibility to work through it and build a life.

It’s not a wife’s fault that her husband hit her, but it is 100% her responsibility to work through the trauma and build a life.

It’s not a husband’s fault that his wife cheated, but it is 100% his responsibility to process his feelings and find new love.

It’s not a turtle’s fault that a careless human cracked its shell, but you’ve got to repair the shell and start swimming (build a life).

Keep building.

The world does not give handouts.

It stinks.

People wish good things would just happen to them or that hard work guarantees rewards.

NOPE! Sorry, but that’s not how the world works.

In reality, bad things happen to good people all the time.

Facing this head-on isn’t pessimism—it’s realism.

If you want to move forward, stop blaming your abusers and start building yourself. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hold abusers accountable. It means you shouldn’t let them live inside your head rent-free. Evict them from your shell!

Your abusers don’t care about helping you, so why spend another second trying to understand why you were undeserving of love or support?

You were a sea turtle hatchling—it wasn’t your fault.

But beating yourself up and failing to move forward will only eat you alive and limit your ability to achieve your goals.

It’s 2025, X Society.
Good Morning.
Let’s go.
