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

You deserve to be whole and feel safe in yourself. Even if it’s unbearable right now, I hope you stay with yourself on the way to freedom.

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

Healing for me means to let it all go, and working on the triggers that I know are there and ones that I don’t know could be there. Healing is to share my story over and over for others to hear that could be going through the same thing.

Leave at the sight of the first red flag. Be with someone who allows you to be feminine.

Hope is just around the corner. My dad always tells me, “Don’t stop trying, you might be just about to reach your goal.” Life is a roller coaster right? Always remember that when there is bad, there will be good again.

it means to me that i dont have to live with this dark cloud of shame hanging over my head anymore

What does healing mean to me? Remembering my own self worth. Knowing that I finally had the strength to walk away. There is no "sin" in wanting to love or wanting to BE loved. The sickness and the abuse is on the abuser - not on me.
Report
Healing is using my pain to help others. No matter how long it has been or what stage you are in, there is help out there. Resources and non-profits that care in a country that seems like it doesn't. Now more than ever we most reach out and support one another. "Turn your wounds into wisdom" is a tattoo I have to remind me of my post-traumatic growth.

Dont give up. Even a life of suffering is better than no life at all.

From one survivor to another, you are so strong. You were strong during, and you are strong after, that has not changed. I’m proud of you for being able to leave because that is never easy, and even if the healing isn’t easy, please keep looking forward, don’t look back.
