OPEN LETTER - RIP Seymour Ann Scooter Cavatica Cerny. Today I lost my true best friend...my 20 year old cat; my "little miracle", as I called her when I was a child. She was the most loving creature I'll ever meet & she never left my side. She stayed with me through my parent's divorce, my dad's suicide, my mom's leukemia, my near-death hate crime experience and the plethora of trauma I've faced as an adult. She wanted nothing from me but my love, and I wish I could've held her in my arms once more to kiss her nose and tell her how much I love her. I'm lucky to have had such a companion. What I've learned is that trauma does not make one stronger...it only kills parts of you that you'll never get back. This is coming from someone who has been through more than anyone will ever know...I-wrote-the-fucking-book on trauma. The biggest part I play in life is that of a person who is happy...when I am anything but. And you know what? THAT IS OKAY. All of the trite inspirational quotes and sayings were invented by those because they can subscribe to that school of thought. But that's all those sayings are...TRITE and untrue. I've lost many friends...well, many friends (you know who you are) have deserted me on my path of life...but my cat was unconditional in her love and loyalty. Send prayers to my mom and brother...and remember how short life is. You can all take your grudges and your "space" and shove them so far up your ass that you choke on them until you realize that grudges never result in LOVE. RIP, my beautiful angel. Our memories together will live on in my heart as long as I'm alive. **Scooter kisses** I love you forever and ever...to infinity and beyond. #openletter #restinpeace #trauma #gonebutneverforgotten #justkeepswiming #cat #rip #catsofinstagram #love #kitty #mentalhealth #death #ptsd #depression #awareness #youwillbemissed #missyou #sad #cats #talkaboutit #stress #wemissyou #important #me #friends #followme #truth #littlemonster #littlemonsters #picoftheday instagram.com/...
