I release myself from versions of me that I created to survive.

Everything I lose creates space for everything I need.

You are not too old and it's not too late.

Behind every strong person is a story that gave them no choice.

Don't be afraid to start all over again. You may like your new story better.

Trauma doesn't make people stronger. It damages their nervous system. It hijacks their digestive tract. It keeps the person in a constant loop of hypervigilance. To tell someone they are stronger because of trauma is to deny what it has cost them.

I love the wealth of knowledge out there on Beyonce's internet. So much truth out there. So many chances to aid your healing. And Ms. Az, that's one big hugglepounce coming to you!
DeleteI hate the phrase "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." (though it's a good song. ;-) A lot of what didn't kill me made me so much weaker...
