I'm finding not only is the writing helpful to heal, but it also helps me process what I'm learning more fluidly. I remember a time in my life when I very much disliked people giving me advise, mostly because I thought they were idiots and it was a waste of my time to hear them speak lol. That is the exact opposite about how I feel when you share perspective with me that I can't yet see on my own. I appreciate and benefit from all of it.
I know I can be slow to ask for help, and I'm sure you know why after reading some of my previous posts. That is going to be a hard one for me to change, I am working on it. At least now when people ask me how I am I don't plaster a fake smile on my face and say I'm just fine :-)
I know the bad feelings are not the end of the world, like they used to feel, but I almost feel guilty for having them at all since I know so many people are still in really bad situations and mine has improved 1000%! I am so thankful my children and I are safe. It is a step on the hierarchy of human needs I'm not familiar with, once I adjust to the safety, I will keep growing!
Thank you for holding space for people like me each and everyday. Even if I can help heal one person through my experiences, it will be totally worth it, and all thanks to you for creating a place for it to happen!
Bless it be~*~
