I could longer
run
hide
deny
because it ate away my soul
I could longer
fight
pretend
act invisible
because it eroded my identity
So I learned to
see My-self
accept who I am
have self-compassion
embrace growth and change
I slowly evolved
Now, even on those darkest days
there is light in my soul
dancing in the sun
and hope in my heart

I love this. This is where I find myself at the moment. Discovering that those things that I hated about myself where the things that made me who I am and that there’s no shame in being myself, is freeing. I know why I am the way I am. A culmination of the way my brain works and my trauma history. Accepting ourselves warts and all can be difficult, but so liberating. ❤
