Healing is accepting all emotions that come along, face them, dont put them away, this will destroy you from the inside and the beautiful soul you are!

I have journaled about hope so many times. I know peace exists, because I’ve felt it. There are bits of my life that have had peace. And that’s what’s keeping me going really. I have the biggest hope and knowing that I can live a life with peace and love at ALL times

Healing is a continual journey, it doesn't end when you get out of the relationship. I'll never be fully healed, but life has to go on, I will not deny myself happiness due to past horrors. I'm one of the lucky ones that escaped with my life and for that I'm thankful every day, others are not so lucky.

To anyone, who find themselves in the waves of ambiguouity. Not knowing what to call what happened to them and feel like a fraud for admitting it. You are seen. You are not crazy. Your story is your own.

Healing means to accept your past, face your traumas, to seek help, to never give up, to find your loved ones and your safe haven. Healing means to never go back to what broke you. Healing means to never give up on yourself

You are worth so much more and are more than enough. If you’re thinking about reaching out for help let this be your sign reach out for help, leave, do it for yourself and your future because you are worth so much more than an abusive partner.

Healing doesn’t mean forgetting, it means accepting and moving forward. For now I can’t accept, but I hope if I manage to get therapy, I will.

To the other survivors out there. You are worth more than you realize. You are strong, and you are beautiful. Always remember that. You have the strength to get away from a situation, you just have to make the choice. Never look back.

For me healing is something you should try to fix to yourself.

My husband is abuse emotionally, physically and financially. He threatens to kill me if I leave him. I have tried to engage his family but they keep defending him. Everyday is a blessing that I am still alive.

This poem by Rupi Kaur captures the essence of healing "What is stronger than a human heart which shatters over and over and still lives"

As the days goes by I realize I'm a naturally loving person and no matter what you've been through or thinking, you are who you are. By changing into a mean, hurted person. Do ever give anyone that power over you.....

For the longest time I felt I was drowning so I thought that was the way to get out of it. In 2020 I tried to end my life in my bathtub. From a young age my step brother has molested me till he turned 18 and moved out. I was 9 when it finally stopped. I thought that would be the end of it. When I was 20 and living on my own I invited a person who I thought was my friend over. He took advantage of the fact it was dark outside and I lived 45 minutes away from his house. I allowed him to stay the night. He found his way into my bed and started kissing me while I was trying to sleep. I kept telling him no but my body was so weak from lack of sleep I passed out. I woke up to him putting himself inside me. I was too tired to fight back. The next morning he texted me like nothing happened. I blocked him on everything. He made a new account to follow which I blocked as well. After the incident I went to work like nothing happened but I was struggling and later that night tried to take my life.
