For speaking out and stepping from under the shadow of the past.
For too long I was afraid to speak about the things I was going through; and it made life very confusing, painful and isolating.
I fought with my misplaced guilt, and I fought to protect people when I was the one most in need of protecting.
The younger me would look at the person I've become in awe. I'm so open with my struggles, past and present.
I'm coming to terms with the things I struggled alone with, and I'm reconnecting with the parts of myself I shut off when I forced myself to repress the trauma I was both too afraid and too young to manage alone.
I have a way to go, but I'm starting to trust that I can share my problems and that people can handle hearing them. And that's enough for my inner child for today.
