Message of Healing
Dear reader, this message contains language of self-harm that some may find triggering or discomforting.
Sometimes I believe we think healing is a destination. A place we just arrive and once we arrive there all our pain and sorrows just go away. I learned that healing is not linear. Some days feel like you can conquer the world and other days I feel like the world is conquering me. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It doesn’t mean not having any more feelings. It means that these feelings no longer take you out. It means actively working on changing the narrative that you have sold yourself for so long. Believing that you are worthy of all good things. Healing does not mean that we just get over it. There are some things that you just never truly “get over”. But I promised myself that I will love my body, mind, and soul. I will no longer let those boys take any more from me. I will not let my story define me. I am not what happened to me. That is the beauty of healing. Allowing yourself to feel and finding strength in sharing your truth. It is our stories to tell and nobody else’s.
