Recently, I had an experience that took everything in my power to forgive myself and the other person. I am on a mission to rebuild and return to where I was before this experience. I allowed myself a day to be in my feelings; I knew it was time to move forward.
Why sit and relive the hurt your fault, which serves no one? Instead, I would rather live. I realized during the day that I had to give myself time to process my experience and the impact on my body.
I looked at my face and saw pain, age, and worry; my glow was gone. I was not going to do that to myself. I needed to get back to me! The process took time and some real hard work. Now, I am back, and it feels good.
The healing me has been so much fun. I get to laugh, cry, and grow. I have learned so much about myself in the process. I have been able to forgive and let go, and to build relationships with people who are important to me. I feel like a whole new person.
Through this process, I have better understood who I am, what I want out of life, and who I want to be. I have been able to let go of things holding me back and to find people who support and love me. I have been able to create a life that I am proud of and that brings me joy.
