I am not weak- I have lived through a pretty good amount of trauma and I keep going.
I am stronger than I think- I always bounce back, even when I don't think I will.
I am a good mom- my daughter is well-taken care of, happy, confident, and caring toward others.
I am a good friend- I listen and care and try to help.
I am not what happened to me- I am not a victim, I have survived and become my own person.
I am beautiful- inside and out, I am not stained by what was done to me.
THis is true, but you are also vulnerable and need kindness and hugs and support and love. You are hurt and need care. You are in pain and need gentleness.
ReplyDeleteI rejoice in what you are and also weep for the rawness.
