The journey I decided to take 3 years ago.
I declared that what happened to me won't define me.
I promised to myself that I will get back up and become whole again.
What felt like millions of pieces was my broken heart. The pain, disappointment, disbelief, betrayal, sadness, loss and grief.
But I also decided that I won't become tougher or by numbing myself. By hiding behind quotes and positive affirmations, by pretending. I won't become bitter towards men. I won't close my heart because that would mean loosing who I am deep inside. That would mean not enjoying life fully and that would mean letting the pain to make decisions for me.
Instead I softened.
I healed my heart by what I used to give others so freely. My love, compassion, acceptance, patience and grace.
That's how I healed and restored my self esteem, self trust, identity and self belief.
At the end of each painful day there is a big warm internal self hug I can rest and return to. A place which absorbs my fear, pain and hurt.
And that's the place I live from now β€οΈ
